Weld Your Mettle Running Festival
Weld Your Mettle Running Festival is a multi-day event on June 5–6, 2027, held on a 146-acre private property near Eaton, Colorado (11586 Co Rd 80). The site includes a groomed 2-mile dirt loop with views of Longs Peak. Several events use a 4-mile loop route; the 7K is a 2-mile out-and-back completed twice.
The festival program includes a range of individual and relay distances, timed events, and a virtual option. Amenities and on-site services listed for participants include glamping tent packages, campground space, a sauna, cold plunge, food and drinks, entertainment, movie screening, and evening bonfires.
Timing cutoffs and completion awards are specified for multiple events. Some timed events and the virtual race offer mailed items: a customized race bib and finisher medal; finishers who complete 50K or longer receive a mailed belt buckle. Relay entries are organized by team with a team name and password created during registration; teammates register and pay individually.
The course surface is described as groomed dirt. Breaks between laps are allowed at on-site facilities such as the sauna, cold plunge, rest areas, and food areas for the events that use repeated laps. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
