About this race

The National High School Trail Championship (NHSTC) is a 5.4 mile trail race for high school athletes and includes 2026 high school graduates and incoming freshmen. The fourth running of the NHSTC will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026 in Salida, Colorado. The race will feature switchbacks, climbs, descents and rocks to give athletes the opportunity to showcase their strength, finesse and trail running prowess.

Not an incoming high school freshman, an outgoing high school senior or somewhere in between? Not to worry. The Beas Knees, a citizens race, has you covered and will allow you to test your trail running on the very 5.4 mile course that will serve as the National High School Trail Championships later that morning. The Beas Knees will set off in the cool morning, mountain air at 7:20 a.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
