Lit Trails for Early & Night Runs in New Mexico

New Mexico has 15 trails with lights for night running in this directory, across 9 cities and towns — Carlsbad, Farmington, Rio Rancho, Albuquerque and 5 more. Lights for the pre-dawn start and the after-work run once winter takes the evenings.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
