TOP 32 TRAIL RACES IN THE COUNTRY!!
Course
Description: This is a high-altitude cross-country footrace along forest
service road and forest trail with course elevations between 7900 and 8800 feet. The course is composed of two loops laid out in a
figure-8. The Start/Finish area and primary water station is located at the
intersection of the two loops. Full Loop racers will run a total of 11 miles,
running both the first loop (5 miles on Forest Service Road) and the second
loop (6 miles on exquisite forest trails)... Half Loop racers will run the second loop only. Full Loop racers will have (3) water stations and Short Loop racers will have one. (All racers
however, need to consider this race primarily unassisted and may need to
consider bringing their own portable hydration system.)
