We would like to give a huge shoutout to all of our race participants and gracious donors to the Mt. Taylor Quadrathlon Scholarship Fund! Because of your support, we were able to award two $400 scholarships to these amazing young ladies who volunteered their time and helped us throughout Quad season and on race day.

To Mirian and Olivia — we wish you both nothing but the best of luck and well wishes as you begin your next chapters in life. We are so proud of you and grateful for all of your hard work and dedication!

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support the Mt. Taylor Quadrathlon and help make opportunities like this possible.

❄️ 43rd Mt Taylor Winter Quadrathlon Recap ❄️

At the *literal* 11th hour, Mother Nature came through and delivered enough snow for us to green light the ski segment of the course. Racers got to experience a true winter wonderland as they ascended Mt Taylor on bike, foot, snowshoe, and ski (or splitboard).

We’re extremely grateful to our community for coming together every President’s Day weekend to bring this race to life — rain, snow, and/or shine. Thank you to everyone who came out this year. We can’t wait to see you all again in 2027!

4:30 am update: WE ARE SKIING!

02/14/2026

❄️ UPDATE as of 7pm:

Bike - Wet pavement, no snow accumulation.

Run - Snow covered in its entirety. Light dusting at the bottom to 2” of accumulation toward the end.

Ski - Snow is accumulating quickly but there are still rocks exposed down low on the uphill course. We’re watching closely, but won’t be able to make a decision on skiing until very early AM.

Snowshoe - Cpversge is solid and conditions are good on the north side of the summit (traditional downhill snowhoe route). We will likely send racers up and down the north side of the summit rather than up the south facing treeline like normal.

If we have to pivot to not allowing skis on Segment 3 (traditional ski segment), we will allow racers to leave the run/ski transition wearing any shoes they want — but they must enter the ski/ snowshoe transition wearing snowshoes.
