TransRockies Run Returns with New 3-Day Stage Race Format: TransRockies Run, Pass to Pub. Registration Now Open on UltraSignup

September 9, 2025

Colorado (September 9, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — After 18 years as one of North America’s premier stage races, the legendary TransRockies Run is back with a fresh new format. The reimagined TransRockies Run Pass to Pub will debut July 19–21, 2026, showcasing the very best sections of the original six-day course in an accessible, three-day stage race.

The new shorter event opened registration on UltraSignup on September 3 and is already 50% SOLD OUT. The 2026 edition promises to honor the event’s rich history while welcoming a new generation of participants, with registration opening exclusively on UltraSignup—the leading platform in the United States for discovering trail and ultra-running events.

“The TransRockies Run has always been about community, challenge, and the incredible beauty of the Colorado Rockies,” said Kevin McDonald, Race Director at TransRockies Events. “While we closed the door on the original format, we’re excited to open a new chapter with a more accessible version that still delivers the spirit of the event. Pass to the Pub captures the magic of the Rocky Mountains, the camaraderie of stage racing, and the finish-line celebration our runners have always loved.”

The new three-day format gives runners:

• Iconic Trails: Access to the most celebrated segments of the historic TransRockies course.
• Community Spirit: Shared meals, camp vibes, live bands, legendary ChillVille hangs and the famously festive finish line atmosphere.
• Accessibility: A shorter, more approachable race format that makes stage racing possible for more athletes.

“UltraSignup is proud to support the launch of TransRockies Run Pass to Pub,” said David Callahan, Co-CEO at UltraSignup. “This event is an important part of trail running history, and its new format represents the innovation and resilience that define our sport. We’re excited to help bring this next chapter to life.”

Registration for the 2026 TransRockies Run Pass to Pub is now open exclusively on UltraSignup.
