Comfortable temps, big temp swing, moderate wind

Starting at 61°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temps will climb significantly to 80°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course.

About the Ruidoso 47K/50K

The State Forty-Seven is a road ultra on the Saturday of Ruidoso RunFest weekend, with the 47K as the scored distance and an optional extra 3K loop that stretches it to a full 50K. It starts in the dark at Enchanted Vine on Fort Stanton Road in Alto and finishes at the same winery, with the marathon and half marathon starting later the same morning. The race is billed as New Mexico's only premier road 50K, and the field is limited to the first 75 registrants.
