Sage Burner Trail Race
Sage Burner Trail Race takes place in the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area near Gunnison, Colorado, close to Black Canyon National Park. The course passes through sage brush and offers wide panoramic views of the Maroon Bells, the San Juan Mountains, and the Gunnison Basin.
Terrain includes technical slickrock, smooth singletrack, and doubletrack. The route features rolling hills and punchy climbs set in a high desert climate. A race guide covers fuel stations, mileage and cutoffs, food and hydration, race rules, distance changes, refund policy, and recommended gear.
Registration is completed online, including on race day, and accepts cards only. Registration may close early if participant caps are reached. Packet pickup is available the day before and on race day at the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area parking lot on Gold Basin Road; locations are listed with the event.
Animals are not allowed on course. Dogs and other pets may remain near the start and finish but must be controlled, kept at least 20 feet from the start and finish area, and kept on a leash.
Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each run. All participants receive race swag, a commemorative finisher medal, and a collapsible reusable cup as part of the event sustainability program. A portion of proceeds benefits Gunnison Trails. Discounts are offered to certain local school staff and first responder groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
