Ultrarunning'sLiving History.
Please join us at the Dick Collins Firetrails on September 26, 2026. When you step up to the start, you’re stepping into history — one that goes back to when Dick Collins himself was race director. You’re standing on the shoulders of giants: Dick, remembered on a bench near Skyline Gate, Ann Trason, another former race director who still holds the course record and the thousands of runners who have started Firetrails in all its years.
Dick Collins Firetrails has 3 events: 100K, 50-Mile, and Marathon. All races are UTMB Index events. The 50-mile race is part of the Pacific USATF Grand Prix.
