The Purgatory 4 Adventure Relay

The Purgatory 4 Adventure Relay challenges competitors across the country to go halfway to hell and back.  Run through the rugged terrain of Sugarite Canyon State Park in Northeastern New Mexico, paddle a course on Lake Maloya at 7,500 feet, bike up to 8,500 feet over San Francisco Pass and into Southern Colorado, then prove your prowess on a challenging shotgun shooting course at Trinidad State College's Prator Gun Range.

​(Formerly known as the Master of the Mountains or the "MOM", the rebranded Purgatory 4 starts in New Mexico with the run and paddle and now crosses into Colorado for the biking and shooting events. The final celebratory fun will be in Trinidad, Colorado.)

Competitors Say...
Great job by the event organizers and volunteers! Flew in from Tampa with my wife to watch my daughter Erin, who drove from Kansas City to compete in her first Triathlon. -- Proud Dad!

Signing up for this event changed my life. I am healthier and much fitter and will continue this path and can't wait to sign up for the race next year and do even better!!!!-- NENM

Of all the races I’ve done, I think this was the most fun. The locals were welcoming, and everyone was helpful and cheerful. Multi-sport races take a huge number of volunteers, and the whole event was well organized. It was the perfect length, with good competition.

Would rate it HIGH. Not 'would' do it again....but WILL do it again. Well run, logistics not a problem, unusual combination of events, professional timer, professional photographer and good swag!  --happy competitor

I really enjoyed the setup of the course. The run, paddle and the bike were all in spectacular areas with great scenery. I had a blast. Fun atmosphere. Well organized.
