Race Info

This is one of the toughest and most scenic “up and over” races Colorado has to offer. There will be heat starts of ten runners every 30 minutes.

50k runners have 5 HOURS to reach the Oso Creek Cutoff (TR787). Otherwise, you will be directed to continue on the 22-mile course. The complete 50k course cutoff time will be 10 HOURS to finish.

This is the continental divide, and runners should be prepared for anything Colorado mountain weather can dish out. Heat, lightning, rain, hail, snow, and wildlife might visit the course on race day. At least six miles of this section are exposed to the elements with nowhere to hide, so be ready!
