About the race

Raising the Barr is an ultrarunning event held in Brighton, Colorado on September 5, 2026, at 13401 Picadilly Rd. The event offers multiple timed formats that run for measured periods rather than fixed distances.

Available formats include 12 hour and 6 hour options in both solo and relay divisions. Relay team sizes are specified as 2 to 3 people for the ultra relay and 4 to 8 people for the standard relay. Registration fees vary by format and category.

The course is Lap based around a lake. Runners complete as many 10 mile loops around the lake as they can in the first 4 or 10 hours of their race, then switch to 1 mile loops for the remaining hours. This structure applies across the event formats so finish totals depend on how many loops a participant or team completes within their allotted time.

Registration includes a race bib, a t shirt, and a post race meal. Registration opens in February and closes on September 1. The event page lists specific opening dates and fees for each race category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
