A Latino-owned trail racing company in the Pacific Northwest.
Snoqualmie Pass, Washington
Before Cielo, we built Tierra Libre Run, a nonprofit that funds race entries, gear, and travel for runners of color across the trail running industry. That work showed us a bigger problem: access programs get people to start lines, but almost no one from our communities is on the other side — designing the races, choosing the courses, running the companies. We started Cielo to change that.
We design races around specific places — old-growth forest, alpine ridgeline, century-old railroad tunnels. Small fields, no public results, generous time limits. Courses that run through native ancestral land, on terrain we treat with care.
We're building a calendar of trail races across the Pacific Northwest. Different distances, different terrain, same approach.
