The Royal Gorge Groove is a scenic trail running event in Cañon City, Colorado, that challenges participants with a variety of distances, including a signature 50K ultramarathon. Runners traverse rugged terrain along the dramatic rim of the Royal Gorge, where they encounter breathtaking 900-foot drop-offs and views of the Arkansas River. Organized by Aravaipa Running, the race is part of a festive multi-sport weekend that transitions from trail runs on Saturday to mountain bike races on Sunday.
