Mace’s Hideout 50/100 - Beulah, Colorado
Mace’s Hideout takes place in the Wet Mountains near Beulah, Colorado, and is offered in two distances. The event materials reference a long course of about 101 miles and a 50-mile option, with a limit of 75 entries per distance.
The route travels across both sides of the Wet Mountains, a sub-range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and passes through distinctly different ecosystems. The east side features firs, spruces and lodgepole pines with moss and alpine meadows with aspen and wildflowers. As the course descends to the west, the landscape changes to pinon, juniper and ponderosa with arid soil, where yucca, cactus and sagebrush are common.
Key course figures include a high point of 11,659 ft, a low point of 6,608 ft, an average elevation around 9,058 ft, and total elevation gain of about 22,500 ft. The event uses a 36-hour cutoff for the long distance. The organizer’s stated policy notes there are no refunds; roll overs may be considered if the entrant volunteers at one of the races that weekend.
The description emphasizes varied terrain and significant elevation change as defining characteristics of the courses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
