The 2019 Master of the Mountain Adventure Race in its seventh year was greeted by a picture perfect day at Lake Maloya as 52 participants gathered on the boat ramp to hear instructions before the runners began their 6-mile race around Horse Mesa Saturday morning September 7, 2019.

Raton Parks and Recreation Director Jared Chatterly told KRTN that there were about 60 participants signed up but eight of them had to drop out for some reason. Chatterly has strived to build the race up hoping one day it will bring in about 100 racers. He noted the participant numbers continue to be good holding around 60 for the past few years.

The race begins with a runners taking off from the boat ramp at Lake Maloya and moving west around the end of the lake then up and over Horse Mesa to near Soda Pocket campground where they descend back to the lake and the boat ramp where each individual racer or a team member will carry on kayaking around the lake. Once they finish that part of the trip, they or another team member takes off for the long ride out to the Raton Trap Club shotgun range where they shoot the shotgun course to complete the four elements of the race.

This year the Kamp family made it a family event with both of the twins, Chance and Chase, on teams while dad, Ted Kamp, participated individually as he has the last seven years. While the boys showed up dad in the foot race and on the water, dad passed them up on the bicycle course and came into the Shotgun Range well ahead of both boys.

Chatterly noted that the MOM has spawned the Down and Dirty bicycle event and has also inspired a kayak event that is in the works and will hopefully be held this next year in conjunction with the New Mexico State Parks.
