Beulah Challenge and OverIt Series
The Beulah Challenge is a community running event held in Beulah, Colorado, with start and finish at the Beulah School of Natural Sciences, 8734 Schoolhouse Ln. The event features road and short dirt sections on courses that loop through the Beulah Valley and the surrounding scenic roads.

- 10K - 6.2 Miles
- 5K - 3.1 Miles
- OverIt Series - 32.4 Miles total across included races
Course details for the 10K note about 85% pavement and 15% dirt road, with starting elevation near 6320 feet, a peak around 6500 feet, and a low near 6220 feet. The 5K is mostly on pavement with a short dirt section, starting near 6320 feet, peaking at about 6470 feet, and showing an overall elevation gain of roughly 240 feet.
The OverIt Series registration covers the Beulah 10K plus the Royal Gorge Rim to Rim half and the Rock Canyon half.
