San Juan Softie 100 mile Ultramarathon
The San Juan Softie is a single distance mountain ultramarathon held in August 2027 near Durango, Colorado. The course is approximately 104 miles long, traversing trails in the San Juan National Forest and La Plata, Dolores, and San Juan Counties. The route reaches a highest point of 12,438 ft on the Colorado Trail, has an average elevation near 10,282 ft, and uses roughly 19,000 ft of total elevation gain as its calculation basis.
Aid stations are positioned along the route with varying services labeled as full or basic; distances between aid stations generally range from about 6.5 to 12 miles. The overall race cutoff is 38 hours. Organizers provide GPX files and maps and mark the course with pink ribbons and staked flags that include reflective tape; runners are expected to carry their own navigation backups.
Mandatory gear requirements include a rain jacket, two light sources, gloves, hat, whistle, water capacity, and a cup or bowl. Satellite tracking devices with messaging capability are required. Required gear may be checked at any time, and failure to carry required items can result in disqualification. Pacers are allowed beginning at mile 45.5 at the Cross Mountain aid station and at specified later aid stations; one pacer at a time must complete a waiver and wear a pacer bib. Participants must be at least 18 years old. Prizes and cash awards are offered for first through third place for men and women. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
