The opening miles pass through evergreens and aspen groves and include runnable singletrack with views of the Continental Divide. Later sections combine flowing singletrack, rugged trail, and faster dirt roads. As the route approaches town the forest opens and the descent becomes steady and rhythmic.
Weather is variable in the mountains; temperatures can be in the 30s at the summit and in the upper 70s in town. Aid stations are placed throughout the course and generally provide electrolyte drink, gels, chews and bars, assorted fruits, soda, sweets and salty snacks, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Runner care at aid stations includes basic first aid, blister care, bug spray, sunscreen, lubrication, and feminine products.
All finishers receive a finisher award. Registration opens October 1, 2026, and the event is scheduled for August 7, 2027, in Winter Park, Colorado. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
