Forever Young Run

6 Mile + 3 Mile Races
​Placitas, New Mexico - Forest Loop Road

Picture
​​This race honors the memory of our member Charlie Young, an avid runner, cyclist and outdoorsman, who was killed in a bike accident in Colorado in August 2004. 

Charlie lived in Placitas, so the race is held on a dirt loop course in Placitas with rolling hills in a beautiful pinon/juniper area. Choose the 6 mile or the 3 mile race. 

A portion of proceeds benefits area non-profit groups.
