The Alpine Bank Trails Series, featuring runs, hikes, and walks for all athletic ability levels on four prominent trail systems in Durango, returns for a second year courtesy of co-hosts City of Durango Parks and Recreation Department, Habitat for Humanity and Southwest Conservation Corps. Profits from the series will equally benefit all three organizations.

The third race of the series, The Habitat Hill Climb, is a new addition to the Trail Series and introduces a one-mile and one-third-mile mountain time trail located at the Smelter Mountain Trailhead.
