About Stag Leap Running

At Stag Leap Running Co., events are more than just races - they’re a celebration of community, adventure, and the wild trails we love. From challenging ultra-distance runs to fun, social trail meet-ups, each event is designed to bring runners of all levels together to share the stoke, push their limits, and experience the beauty of the mountains.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, discovering trail running for the first time, or simply here for the camaraderie and post-run vibes, events are all about connection - both with nature and each other. Join the crew for unforgettable days on the trails, where every finish line is a reason to celebrate.

Stag Leap Running hosts weekly drop-in runs year round, for varied abilities, and a monthly Thirsty Thursday Run Club in the warmer months. 

Stag Leap Running was founded in 2016 by Abi Moore, a trail running enthusiast and competitive athlete who won the first Ultra that she ever ran - the Sinister Seven - in 2017. Abi died in a tragic accident in 2024 and her legacy is being continued by her friends and fellow runners.
