Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating adventure at The Big T - 2024, taking place on Sunday, October 13, 2024, in the stunning Santa Fe, New Mexico. This beloved event has been a staple of the Santa Fe community since 1985, inviting runners to tackle a challenging 12-mile round-trip course that begins at the Aspen Vista parking lot on Hyde Park Road (NM-475). Participants will ascend six miles and gain 2,000 feet in elevation to reach the breathtaking summit of Tesuque Peak in the Santa Fe National Forest before making the descent back to the starting point.

Not only is The Big T a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the region, but it also supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds from the race benefit Wings of America, a charitable organization dedicated to promoting running programs for Native American youth and teens. Join us in making a positive impact by aiming to raise $5,000 in donations to support this worthy initiative. Let's come together to honor the ancestral lands of the Tesuque Pueblo and celebrate the rich cultural history of this remarkable area. Prepare for a day of community, gratitude, and unforgettable memories at The Big T!

WE ACKNOWLEDGE, AND GIVE THANKS.



This great race, which we gather to run each year, is held on the ancestral lands of the people of Tesuque Pueblo. We honor their enduring connection to this region and acknowledge a painful history of displacement and colonization.



As a running group, we move through landscapes rich with culture and history. We commit to deepening our understanding of these lands and the indigenous peoples who have been its stewards for millennia. We express our sincere gratitude to the Native communities, past and present, and stand in solidarity with efforts to preserve and protect these lands for future generations.
