Looks Like La Luz in August!
Things can certainly change in a month; however, according to the Albuquerque Road Runners' website, there have only been 250 applicants towards a 400-runner cap for the 41st annual La Luz Trail Run on August 6, 2006.
The La Luz Trail Run is a 9 mile trail run that starts near the intersection of Tramway Road and the road to the Juan Tabo Picnic Grounds in the far northeast heights of Albuquerque, NM. The race consists of 1.8 miles of paved road and 7.2 miles of dirt single track trail with a 12% grade. The race finishes at the Sandia Crest (10,678') near the gift shop located by the radio and TV towers on the crest. There is a strict 400 runner limit imposed on the race by the U.S. Forest Service. In fall issue of 2001 Trail Runner Magazine, La Luz was selected as one of the "12 Most Grueling Trail Races in North America."
The website reported that through March 27th there were applicants from 14 states, including New Mexico and eight (8) from Texas.
As I've said before, if selected, I'll be needing to spend time on the Vancouver's Grouse Grind during the months of June and July.
I can already hear the naysayers lining up! Gotta love it! :)

I think it's more of a climb then a run.
Figured you might be interested in signing up for it.
