Flaming Foliage Relay
The Flaming Foliage Relay is an overnight team running event that traverses the scenic landscape of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The course spans 165 miles, beginning in the town of Idaho Springs and concluding on the banks of the Arkansas River in Buena Vista. Participants navigate a route consisting of both roads and single track trails.
The journey includes crossing three rugged mountain passes - Guanella Pass, Georgia Pass, and Fremont Pass. Detailed leg maps are provided for the various sections of the course, which takes place during the autumn season. The relay is organized into several team categories based on the number of participants:
- 10 person Team: For groups consisting of 6 to 10 runners.
- Ultra Team: For smaller groups of 4 to 5 runners.
- Super Ultra: For solo runners or small groups of 2 to 3 people.
The event is part of the run.Colorado Relays series. Runners who complete both the Flaming Foliage Relay and the Wild West Relay within the same year are eligible for a specific recognition award. The race transition points involve local landmarks and mountain scenery across the high country. Support services such as packet pickup are hosted by local partners in the region.
