    The Never Summer 100km, 60km and Dirty Double 100 miler will take place almost entirely within the boundaries of State Forest State Park and run between the Never Summer Mountains on the northern border of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) and the Medicine Bow Mountains to the north of Cameron Pass.

    The first 20 miles of each race will offer a tour of the peaks and alpine lakes of the northern Never Summer Mountains, before the route crosses below Cameron Pass and heads north into the southern Medicine Bow Mountains for more peaks and lakes over the final miles.

    Cameron Pass sits at the top of the iconic Poudre Canyon and near the headwaters of the Cache La Poudre River, almost exactly halfway between Fort Collins and Steamboat Springs (1.5 hours either way), an hour south of Laramie, WY, and 2.5 – 3 hours from Denver.

    This is a mountain race in the truest sense of the term, with extended periods of high alpine ridge running, two alpine peaks, and five alpine lakes visited along the way. When above timberline, you will enjoy huge views of the northern Never Summer Mountains to the south, the stunning peaks of RMNP to the southeast, expansive vistas across North Park to the Park Range above Steamboat Springs to the west, and even north out to Wyoming’s Snowy Range.

    The race covers a huge variety of terrain, from cross country, to jeep and logging roads, to bomber alpine trail, and pretty much everything in between. There are some sections of the course that have seen very little foot traffic in recent years and are rough and overgrown as a consequence; this only adds to the ‘charm’ of the race. You’ll cross meadows and streams, you’ll wade through mud up to your shins, you’ll negotiate rocks, and perhaps negotiate a snowfield or two. There is quite literally something new around every corner on this course. Expect to see moose, elk and maybe some bighorn sheep through the course of your run.

    Our aim with this race is to offer a challenging ultra-distance mountain-running experience in a wild and beautiful setting. With a cut-off of 24 hours for the 100km, we believe that anybody with adequate training and the requisite mental fortitude can complete this run, but please also be aware that this is a true mountain wilderness experience in challenging terrain, much of it between 10,000ft and 12,000ft.

    Come prepared!

    The Never Summer 100km & 60km races will take place almost entirely within the boundaries of State Forest State Park and run between the Never Summer Mountains on the northern border of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Medicine Bow Mountains to the north of Cameron Pass.

    This is a mountain race in the truest sense of the term, with extended periods of high alpine ridge running, two alpine peaks and four alpine lakes visited along the way. When above timberline, you will enjoy huge views of the northern Never Summer Mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park to the south, expansive vistas across North Park to the Park Range to the west, and even north out to Wyoming's Snowy Range.

    The race covers a huge variety of terrain; from cross country, jeep and logging roads; to bomber alpine trail; and pretty much everything in between. You'll cross meadows and streams, you'll wade through mud up to your shins, you'll negotiate boulder fields, and you'll enjoy some of the rawest trail running Colorado has to offer. Expect to see moose, elk and maybe some bighorn sheep through the course of your run.

    Our aim is to offer a challenging ultra-distance mountain-running experience in a wild and beautiful setting. With generous cut-offs, we believe that anybody with adequate training and the requisite mental fortitude can complete this run, but please also be aware that this is a true mountain wilderness experience run on challenging terrain, much of it between 10,000ft and 12,000ft.

    The longest stretch without aid is from the start to Michigan Ditch Aid (11.4 miles); however, the hardest stretch for 100km runners comes between the Ruby Jewel Aid and the Clear Lake Aid. Runners should be sure to stock up at Ruby Jewel with the necessary supplies to meet their nutrition and hydration needs. This section is 10.0 miles, and occurs at high altitude, with lots of climbing on rough terrain during the heat of the day. It could take 4 hours or more to get between aid stations.

    For added safety, we will have a first responder and a radio volunteer stationed at Kelly Lake, the midway point of this leg. They will have a limited supply of water treated from the lake & basic first aid, but will not have any additional aid supplies. This is intended to be used by runners who truly need it.

    All full service aid stations will stock the following items:

    • Gnarly Nutrition Fuel2O sports drink.

    • Naak Gels

    • Water and Ice

    • Salty Snacks: Pretzels, potato chips, corn chips

    • Fruit: Oranges, Bananas, Watermelon

    • Sweets: Cookies, M&M's, Gummy Bears

    • Soda: Coke, Ginger Ale

    • Sandwich Rolls: Flour or Corn tortillas with peanut butter & jelly or turkey & cheese.

    • Potatoes in various forms (boiled, hash browns, pierogis, tots, etc)

    • Later aid stations serving runners through the night will offer grilled cheese/quesadillas, soup, pierogis, hot ramen, broth, coffee/cocoa and more.

    ***There will be GF/Vegan alternatives for nearly all non-GF/V standard offerings. These are typically held back to save them for those who need them, so please ASK! Also note that while we will do our best to keep utensils and trays separated for these as well as common allergens, this is the backcountry and cross-contamination can occur.

    While we will provide plenty of electrolyte options in drink mix and salty real foods, we deem the risks associated with salt in concentrated pill form to be more than we're comfortable providing. We won't restrict runners from using their own salt caps, but will not have them available at aid stations.

    Time Cut-Offs

    100km:

    • Summit (Mile 22.9) at 1:45p. 8:15 Total time.

    • Ruby Jewel (Mile 31.6) at 4:30pm. 11:00 Total time.

    • Clear Lake 2 (Mile 45.3) at 10:45p. 17:15 Total time.

    • Canadian (Mile 51.5) at 1:00am. 19:30 Total time.

    • Bockman (Mile 57.4) at 3:00am. 21:30 Total time.

    60km:

    • Summit (Mile 22.9) at 2:15p. 8:45 Total time.

    • Bockman (Mile 30.9) at 5:30pm. 12:00 Total time.

    Runners who miss the cut-off at Summit will be directed to turn around and return downhill to the previous full-service aid station for transport to the finish.

    While we do not have a hard cut-off at Diamond Aid, any runner leaving that aid after 12:00p (60K) or 11:30p (100K) has a near-zero chance of making the Summit cut-off. You are welcome to try, but must turn-around if & when the reverse sweeps coming down from Summit reach you heading back to Diamond.

    Drop Bags

    If you have any specific personal nutrition or gear needs, you can leave drop bags to be taken to the designated drop bag aid stations. Drop bags can be left at the start on race morning and/or during check in.

    Please provide your own bag and keep it to a reasonable size (small duffel bag or stuff sack). Clearly label it with your name and bib number. Please do not leave any valuable items in your drop bags - volunteers are not responsible for lost items.

    100K Drop bags will be allowed at:

    • Diamond: Mile 19.5

    • Ruby Jewel: Mile 31.6

    • Clear Lake: Mile 40.9/45.3

    • Canadian: Mile 51.5

    • Bockman: Mile 57.4

    • Finish

    60K Drop bags will be allowed at:

    • Diamond: Mile 19.5

    • Bockman: Mile 30.9

    • Finish

    100km Drop bags from Clear Lake, Canadian and Bockman will not be returned to the finish area until early Sunday morning and will be available at the post-race breakfast/awards. Drop bags from Diamond and Ruby Jewel will be available at the finish at the end of the day Saturday.

    60km Drop bags from Bockman will not be returned to the finish area until late Friday evening. Drop bags from Diamond will be available at the finish by midday.

    Course Marking

    The course will be well marked with pink flagging and pink pin flags. Important intersections and turns will be marked heavily and supplemented with flour ground markings and black directional arrows on a yellow background. On longer stretches of trail without intersections, confidence flagging will be placed approximately every quarter mile. Sections of primitive trail will be marked so as to ensure flagging is in line of sight at all times.

    The course will be marked in stages. Non-system trails will be marked up to a month in advance, while system trails will be marked the week of the race. Pre-runner volunteers will confirm all markings ahead of front runners on race day to ensure accuracy, but there is always a (small) chance that cattle and other wildlife in the area may damage or eat course markings. We highly recommend bringing maps and/or downloading GPX tracks to your watch just in case.

    Toilets

    Permanent restrooms will be available at the start/finish, Diamond Aid, Ruby Jewel Aid, Canadian Aid, and Bockman Aid. All other aid stations will have at least a trowel and TP.

    Training

    There are organized training runs most weekends May-July for Never Summer, with a special Course Preview Weekend with Camping & Trail Work the in late June/early July. See the Fort Collins Trail Runners Facebook Group for details on times, locations & routes. See our Community Page for more info on both.

    Pacers may meet their 100km runner to start pacing at the Canadian or Bockman Aid Stations. One pacer is allowed per runner at a time from Canadian to the Finish; you may switch pacers at Bockman. For runners over the age of 60, pacers can begin at Ruby Jewel Aid (31.6).

    Crewing is permitted for the 60k at the following aid stations:

    • Diamond (19.5) - 40.505442, -105.921469

    • Bockman (30.9) - 40.559134, -105.971943

    The last 2 miles from Ranger Lakes Aid to the finish is open for any family and friends to join their runner - DROP-OFF ONLY - no cars may be left at Ranger Lakes.

    Crew & Pacing Rules

    1. Runners are responsible for the behavior of their crew and pacers.

    2. A Colorado State Parks Annual Pass or Day Pass is required to access any aid station on the course. $12 Day Passes can be obtained at the Moose Visitor Center, 0.5mi from the start/finish, or most entrance stations. The only entrance station that accepts credit cards is the main one, on CR-41 off of Highway 14 (4mi north of the start/finish). Crews planning to visit the Diamond Aid station should plan to either have their own annual pass, visit the Visitor Center or main park entrance the day before, or bring cash/check for the day-of. A park ranger may also be available during pre-race check in to sell passes and answer other questions.

    3. Crewing outside of designated crew aid stations is prohibited. Spectators are welcome to access additional points on the course but may only spectate and provide moral support.

    4. The park is open to the public so please be courteous and respectful of other park users. Bockman and Ranger Lakes Aid Stations are near major campgrounds, so please limit noise and please do not drive through the campground areas after dark.

    5. No parking on Highway 14.

    6. No crew vehicles are allowed on Ruby Jewel Rd east of the Francisco Loop.

    7. Crew vehicles parked along any park road must not block traffic or any trail or access road gate.

    8. Crews & pacers should not interfere with volunteers.

    9. Dogs must be on leash at all times.

    10. Bring your own food, water and supplies. Aid station supplies are available for runners and pacers (while on course). Please pack in anything else that you need for the weekend.

    11. No muling. Pacers may not assist their runner in any way to carry gear or provide aid outside of the designated aid stations. Pacers may crew for their runner and assist them like any other volunteer or crew inside designated aid stations.

    12. Carpool, carpool, carpool. Parking space is limited on the course so please make an effort to carpool whenever possible.

    **There is very limited cell phone and data service in the area. We highly recommend printing out hard copies of any maps and directions that you need in advance. You will not be able to rely on your phone at most locations in the park or at the start/finish.

    Diamond (mile 19.5 – car accessible)

    Diamond Aid is located 3/4 of a mile east of the Seven Utes Trailhead (40.502198, -105.931914), the crew-access parking area. From the Gould Community Center, head East on Highway 14 for 4 miles to the turnoff on the right for the new Seven Utes Trailhead. Crews must park here and walk the 3/4 of a mile east to the aid station location.

    No parking is allowed anywhere on Highway 14.

    Ruby Jewel (mile 31.6 – 1.8 mile hike in (400' gain))

    The Ruby Jewel Road past the Francisco Loop Road will be open only to park visitors and volunteers. Crew cars will have to park on the side of the Ruby Jewel Road anywhere before the Francisco Loop junction or further down on the side of the main park road (County Road 41) and hike, run or bike 1 to 2 miles (400' gain) up the Ruby Jewel Road to the aid location. Ruby Jewel is a narrow, rough road so please drive carefully and watch for runners and other traffic on the road. Please follow the instructions of parking volunteers and pull over as far as you can when parking to leave the roadway clear.

    From the start/finish, it’s just over 5mi west to the main park entrance. Make a right into the park and follow County Road 41 five miles to the Ruby Jewel Rd intersection. It is two miles from County Road 41 to the aid location and a mile from the Francisco Loop parking junction.

    Canadian (mile 51.5 – 1 mile hike in)

    Crew cars will park at the trailhead at the northern end of County Road 41, three to four miles up the road from the Ruby Jewel intersection. It is about 1 mile of gently downhill dirt road to Canadian Aid. Your runners are going to take a long time getting there from Ruby Jewel. It will take the front of the field between four and five hours, so you don’t need to be in any hurry to get out there from Ruby Jewel.

    From the start/finish, it’s just over 5mi west to the main park entrance. Make a right into the park and follow County Road 41 nine miles to Horse Corral / Campsites in a loop at the end of the main park road. Park in designated sites around the loop, then hike through the gate at the Northeast corner of the loop and 1mi along the dirt road to Canadian Aid.

    Bockman (miles 57.4/30.9 – car accessible)

    Three-quarters of a mile from the junction of CR41 & CR41B, the Bockman Aid will be sited. 100K runners will be crossing Bockman Road there, while 60K runners will be coming the road in a westerly direction and turning into the aid. Parking will only be allowed along the south (right) side of the road and before (west of) the trail crossing and aid station. Parking will be restricted to a single side of the road. Please follow the instructions of the volunteers.

    From the Canadian parking lot at the end of CR41, it is 5 miles back south to the left turn onto County Road 41B (Bockman Road). The aid and crew location is 3/4 of a mile down 41B. It is also not far from the Bockman Campground, so please do not drive past the aid station location and keep noise levels down during the night.

    From the start/finish, it’s just over 5mi west to the main park entrance. Make a right into the park and follow County Road 41 four miles to the Bockman Road intersection, make a right, and go 3/4mi to the aid station.

    Spectating

    Lake Agnes - runners pass by beautiful Lake Agnes at mile 10 on the course. This is a great spot to cheer on your runner for the first time. From the Lake Agnes trailhead it is a one mile hike uphill to the lake. To access the trailhead from the race start, drive 5 miles east on Highway 14, make a right onto the Crags/American Lakes dirt road, then make another right after a mile following signs for Lake Agnes and the Crags Campground. Stay straight at the turn for the Crags Campground and follow the rugged 2WD forest road a further mile up to the trailhead.

    North Diamond Summit (11,850') is the high point on the course and offers sweeping mountain views. The summit is a little over a mile with 1,500ft of climbing if accessed from Cameron Pass (where there is a good-sized parking lot). The trail from Cameron Pass is good, but not marked. To find it, follow the creek to the northwest of the parking area. The trail follows the creek to treeline after which it is a steep climb for the summit (right peak as you look at North and South Diamond). Approaching from the west side on the course route adds another couple of miles in getting to the summit and limited parking is available in the picnic area turn-out off Highway 14. This is a unique point on the course to view runners, but would preclude crewing at Diamond Aid.

    Other Excursions - Go check out Jewel Lake (11,300') another 2.5 miles and 1,600 ft up the trail from Ruby Jewel Aid. If you’re feeling perky, hoof steeply for Clark Peak (12,950'), which towers over the lake and is the high point in the Medicine Bow Mountains. The views are well worth it if you can get it done in time to meet your runner at Canadian Aid.

    Race Rules

    Race rules are designed to provide a safe and fair experience for everyone involved and to help ensure our ability to produce the race again next year. Major rule infractions by racers will result in immediate disqualification of the racer. Please do not argue with or harass our volunteers. Please direct any questions and feedback to us here.

    1. The 100km mile race will be limited to 24 hours and will end at 5:30am on Sunday morning. The 60km race will be limited to 15 hours and will end at 8:30pm on Friday evening. Please refer to the Course section of this page for intermediate cut-offs.

    2. At each aid station, volunteers will record runner bib numbers. Runners are responsible for making sure that aid station volunteers record their number. Please make sure that your bib number is visible from the front and call out and confirm your number when passing through an aid station. This is important so that we can keep track of runners and know that you are not lost or injured.

    3. If you need to drop out of the race for any reason, you must check out with the nearest aid station or course volunteer.

    4. Required Gear. There will be a gear check at packet pickup.

    No Parking Anywhere on Highway 14

    Carpooling

    Your pacers & crews may check in at the start/finish to seek/offer rides. We'll keep a list throughout the race and do our best to holler, but without cell phone service to coordinate, keep expectations mild.

    Please use our Never Summer Event Facebook page to post messages to ask for a ride or offer a ride if you have space.

    You may also Contact Us. If we have enough interest in carpooling from certain campgrounds, we will help facilitate a schedule and meeting locations.

    Driving Directions

    56750 Colorado Highway 14, Gould, Colorado 80480

    The last 24-hour gas station if coming from the east is at the junction of Highways 287 and 14. Gas is available at the two stores in the small town of Rustic about halfway up the canyon, but these are only open until 7pm. You will lose cell service a mile past the Highway 287/14 junction, and may not regain it the entire weekend.

    From Boulder/Denver (2:30 - 3:00 hours): The Never Summer 100k/60k stages out of Gould, Colorado, just west of Cameron Pass. Traffic coming from the Denver/Boulder area should take I-25 north to exit 269B (Highway 14/Mulberry St) and follow Highway 14 until it splits west into the Poudre Canyon, a few miles north of Fort Collins. Once in the canyon, it is an approximately 65 mile drive west to Cameron Pass on the winding road following the beautiful Wild and Scenic Poudre River. The Gould Community Center is 7.7mi after you crest the Pass, on the south side of the road.

    From Steamboat (1:15 - 1:30 hours): Take Highway 40 & 14 to Walden, then continue on 14 east for another 20 miles to Gould.

    From Fort Collins (1:30 - 1:45 hours): Head west on Highway 14 up the Poudre Canyon. Once in the canyon, it is an approximately 65 mile drive west to Cameron Pass on a winding road following the beautiful Wild and Scenic Poudre River. The Gould Community Center is 7.7mi after you crest the Pass, on the south side of the road.

    From Laramie/Cheyenne (1:30): Head south towards Jelm on WY 230 and either follow it to Walden and drive east on Highway 14 to Gould, or veer left to Jelm on WY 10/CO 103 (Laramie River Rd) to Highway 14. Head west to Cameron Pass on Highway 14; Gould will be 7.7mi from the crest of the pass.

    All full service aid stations will stock the following items:

    • Gnarly Fuel2O Nutrition sports drink.

    • Water and ice

    • Salty snacks: Pretzels, potato chips, corn chips

    • Fruit: Oranges and Bananas plus additional variety depending on what might be available

    • Sweets: Cookies, M&M's, Gummy bears

    • Soda: Coke, Ginger Ale

    ***There will be GF/Vegan alternatives for nearly all non-GF/V standard offerings. These are typically held back to save them for those who need them, so please ASK! Also note that while we will do our best to keep utensils and trays separated for these as well as common allergens, this is the backcountry and cross-contamination can occur.

    While we will provide plenty of electrolyte options in drink mix and salty real foods, we deem the risks associated with salt in concentrated pill form to be more than we're comfortable providing. We won't restrict runners from using their own salt caps, but will not have them available at aid stations.

    Time Cut-Offs

    The 50K and Half Marathon distances have no intermediate cut-off times. Anyone who completes the full course is recognized as a finisher. Recommended pace to finish:

    • 50K: 21:20 min/mi

    • Half: 22:50 min/mi

    The 50 Mile distance has one cut-off, which is in place to help ensure all runners are back on camp property before darkness falls, while still allowing all to achieve at least a 50K distance for the day:

    • Granite Ridge Aid Station (Mile 32.4) at 4:30pm. 10:30 Total time (19:22min/mi).

    Drop Bags

    If you have any specific personal needs, drop bags will be allowed during the 50mi race at the Deadman (mile 21.6) and Granite Ridge (mile 32.4) aid stations. No drop bags for the 50K or Half Marathon.

    Drop Bags can be dropped off either at Thursday night's packet pickup or on Friday morning any time up until the race start.

    Please provide your own bag and keep it to a reasonable size (small duffel bag or stuff sack). Clearly label it with your name and bib number. Please do not leave any valuable items in your drop bags - volunteers are not responsible for lost items.

    Drop bags will not be returned to the start until each aid station shuts down and packs up at the end of the day (likely after sundown). If you finish early and need your drop bags before heading home, you are welcome to drive around to the aid stations to pick up your drop bag. Unclaimed bags will be transported to Altitude Running post-race, available in the race's lost & found box for two weeks before being donated.

    Course Marking

    The course will be well marked with pink flagging and pink pin flags. Important intersections will be supplemented with flour ground markings and directional arrows. On longer stretches of trail without intersections, confidence flagging will be placed approximately every quarter mile. Turns will be marked heavily.

    Toilets

    Restrooms are available at the Start/Finish as well as various locations around camp, the Elkhorn Trailhead/Aid, the Granite Ridge Trailhead/Aid and the Lady Moon Trailhead/Aid. All other aid stations will have trowels and TP.

    Crew Access

    Family and friends can meet their runners at the Elkhorn, Granite Ridge, North Lone Pine (Deadman) & Lady Moon Trailheads. Carpooling is highly recommended to limit traffic and parking congestion at the trailheads.

    All trails are open to the public, so family and friends are allowed to run, hike, or bike on the course; however, pacing or crewing outside designated aid stations is not allowed and will result in the disqualification of your runner.

    NO Crewing is allowed at the High Adventure, Goodell or Baldy Aid Stations.

    Driving Directions:

    Elkhorn Trailhead: From the Coral Rock Dining Hall Start/Finish, follow the main park road 1.2mi back out the main gate to CR68C (Boy Scout Road). Turn left (west) and go 2.0mi to the sign for the Elkhorn Trailhead. Turn right and follow the access road 0.2mi to the trailhead.

See the Fort Collins Trail Runners Facebook Group for group run postings, as well as our Events Section of our Facebook page for more info.

    Detailed Course Directions - 50 Mile

    In addition to the Boy Scout, Elkhorn and Lady Moon trails enjoyed on parts of the 50km and half marathon courses, the 50 mile route takes in the Lone Pine and Killpecker trail systems within the Laramie Mountains. The route tops out just below 11,000 feet between Middle and North Bald Mountains, taking in sweeping views in all directions of the Mummy Range, the Never Summer Range and the Medicine Bow Mountains.

    The course offers a wonderful mix of terrain, from buttery Colorado singletrack to technical Red Feather hardscrabble with linkages on rugged Forest Service jeep tracks. The 50 mile course offers a full taste of the unique Red Feather Lakes landscape.

    Start to Goodell Aid Station (Mile 4.8):

    From the Coral Rock Dining Hall, head south on the main park road for about 0.3mi, to where the road has a Y-junction. To the left is the Gregg Boundary Trail. Stay straight / right on the road, passing through a gate onto a primitive road for about 0.2mi, crossing another gate, to a junction with a well-established jeep road (CR168 / Rim Rd). Turn right on CR168 and follow it west about 4mi as it rolls through forest and meadow along the ridge rim, finally descending sharply to the trailhead just off of CR69 / Manhattan Road and the aid station.

    Goodell Aid Station to Baldy Aid Station - 1st Visit (Mile 14.3):

    This will be your longest stretch between aid stations. From the CR168 trailhead, turn right (north) on CR69 and follow it a mile to Goodell Junction, a 3-way intersection with CR68C. Turn left and continue following CR69 north for another mile, up a couple mild switchbacks to the somewhat obscure turn onto CR171A. Turn left onto CR171A and follow this smooth jeep road roughly 3 miles to the Unmanned Aid Station (Water Only). There will be many side roads and pull-outs that will try to confuse you - keep watching for course markings! Tank up at the Unmanned, then cross the gate onto the Swamp Creek Trail, which winds gradually for 3mi uphill on rocky terrain as you enter the outer limits of the devastation caused by 2020's Cameron Peak fire. The Swamp Creek Trail will top out at an obscure 3-way intersection with FS517 and the Elkhorn-Baldy connector, as you enter the one mile of course today you'll see twice. Turn left (west) at this intersection and follow the road about a mile to the aid

    station, tucked in right where the trees become green again!

    Baldy Aid Station - 1st Visit to Deadman Aid Station (Mile 21.6):

    Say 'See You Later' to the Baldy aid crew - because you will! - and continue generally westward on the road (CR517) for a mile to its junction with Killpecker Road (FS300). Turn right for barely 100 yards, then right again on to the Killpecker Trail. Climb steeply for a half mile to a lovely alpine meadow, then follow the trail as it gently winds through the forest with the occasional steep downward plunge for 4 miles, thrice crossing Killpecker Road, until the trail ends at Deadman Road (CR86). Turn right (east) on Deadman Road and follow it 2.5mi gradually uphill. Stay on the left side of the road (facing oncoming traffic) - it's not a high traffic road, until you compare it with the rest of the course. :) You'll probably see 6-10 cars. Just over a hump about 2.2mi along, you'll see nothing but downhill ahead and know that the North Lone Pine Trailhead is coming up on your right. Turn into the parking lot / trailhead and enjoy the aid.

    Deadman Aid Station to Baldy Aid Station - 2nd Visit (Mile 26.0):

    For this stretch, all you have to do is follow the North Lone Pine Trail 4.6mi from aid to aid. It's a beautiful single track pine trail that gently winds uphill through green forest and delivers you to the aid station. There are a couple of crossings of FS333 about a mile in; just watch for markings to pick up the trail again.

    Baldy Aid Station - 2nd Visit to Granite Ridge Aid (Mile 32.4):

    Repeat that mile mentioned earlier along FS517 heading south/east toward that obscure 3-way junction. This time, continue straight at the junction, staying on the road and turning north/east. You'll have a very rutted, rocky 0.75mi descent from the intersection (but great views) before the road smooths out and becomes ever-more gentle as it bears you east toward Manhattan Road (CR69) just over 5mi from the aid station. This section can be very exposed, and many runners will hit it in the heat of the day. Once you hit Manhattan Rd, turn left (north) and proceed just shy of a mile to the signed entrance for Molly Lake Trailhead. Turn right onto the access road, and you'll find the aid station at the trailhead less than a half mile ahead. Note that this is the one aid station with the cut-off on course. You must be here by 4:30p (19:27/mi pace) to continue onward. If that isn't you on race day, know you still conquered a rough-and-tumble high altitude 50K and be impressed with yourself - we

    are!

    Granite Ridge Aid to Elkhorn Aid (Mile 37.3):

    Follow the wide Granite Ridge Trail for a bit over a mile to the intersection with the Elkhorn Creek Trail, passing by a few other intersections along the way. Turn right (south) onto the Elkhorn Creek Trail and enjoy some wooded, mildly technical single track with a couple creek crossings as you cruise downhill to the aid station at the Elkhorn Trailhead.

    Elkhorn Aid Station to High Adventure Aid (Mile 44.6):

    You've got one more grunt! From Elkhorn Aid, head north on the Lady Moon Trail for a mile up a 'good hill' to the four-way intersection with the Granite Ridge Trail. Turn right (east) onto the Granite Ridge Trail and finish out your climb through a couple more switchbacks, clambering over a bit of rock, and then hitting the rolling, rocky downhill of the Box Canyon Trail for 4 miles. Eventually the trail will widen to double track and smooth out as you cross from USFS land back onto Scout Ranch property, at which point the trail will get much more obscure! Pay attention to course markings as the route winds through the NE corner of the ranch for a couple miles before returning you to civilization in the form of Boy Scout Road (CR68C) and the High Adventure Aid.

    High Adventure Aid to Finish (Mile 49.6):

    You're in the heart of the scout ranch now as you exit the aid heading south on double track, rolling through meadows for about a mile and a half down to the creek bottom, crossing the creek, staying on double-track for another mile until you hit an obscure intersection with the single track Gerry Boundary Trail. Turn left (south) at this intersection and enjoy 2 more miles of windy, rolling, rocky single track back to the familiar junction with the main camp road. With a quick right turn and half mile downhill, you've done it!

    Detailed Course Directions - 50K

    Start to High Adventure Aid Station (Mile 5.3):

    From the Coral Rock Dining Hall, head south on the main park road to the T-junction with the Gregg Boundary / Zimmerman Trails.

    Race Rules

    Race rules are designed to provide a safe and fair experience for everyone involved and to help ensure our ability to produce the race again next year. Major rule infractions by racers will result in immediate disqualification of the racer. Please do not argue with or harass our volunteers. Please direct any questions and feedback to us here.

    1. The 50K will be limited to 11 hours. The 50 Mile will be limited to 16 hours. The Half Marathon will be limited to 6 hours. 50 Mile runners must also comply with the intermediate cut-off at Granite Ridge (mile 32.4) at 4:30p.

    2. At each aid station, volunteers will record runner bib numbers. Runners are responsible for making sure that aid station volunteers record their number. Please make sure that your bib number is visible from the front and call out and confirm your number when passing through an aid station. This is important so that we can keep track of runners and know that you are not lost or injured.

    3. If you need to drop out of the race for any reason, you must check out with the nearest aid station or course volunteer.

    4. Purposeful littering is prohibited and will result in an immediate disqualification.

    5. Stay on the trail. No bushwhacking or short cutting. In case of wet trail conditions, please run through any muddy sections to avoid widening the trail. Yield to pedestrian and horses. Mountain bikers should yield to runners, but please use common sense in all circumstances.

    6. Pacers are not allowed. Crewing is allowed at designated aid stations only.

    7. Dogs are not allowed on the course with runners.

    8. Poles ARE allowed for all distances; we just ask specifically that 50K runners keep them stowed for the first 4mi - those are narrow trails when everyone is bunched together

    9. 50 Milers - the race is typically held during bow hunting season for deer & elk in Colorado, and it is possible to see hunting parties, particularly in the stretch you'll cover west of CR69 (miles 7-32). We've posted signs at all trailheads entering the area, but additionally recommend that you work a splash of orange into your race day gear if possible. While the risks are extremely low, this will give us all that extra margin of safety.

    Recommended Gear:

    There is no required gear for any of the weekend races. 50 Mile runners will be out for a long day in varied terrain with exposed stretches near treeline. We recommend bringing the following gear with you to the race, and are happy to advise at packet pickup on what's likely to be needed.
