The Master of the Mountains Adventure Relay challenges competitors from across the country to “master the mountains”. Run through the rugged terrain of Sugarite Canyon State Park in Northeastern New Mexico, paddle a course on Lake Maloya at 7,500 feet, bike up to 8,500 feet over San Francisco Pass and into Southern Colorado, then prove your prowess on a challenging shotgun shooting course at Trinidad State College’s Prator Gun Range.

(Originally known as the Master of the Mountains or the “MOM”, then rebranded Purgatory 4 for a couple years and now back to its roots, the “MOM” starts in New Mexico with the run and paddle and then crosses into Colorado for the biking and shooting events. The final celebratory fun will be at the gun range.)
