Run Through Time Updates (3/1) - This has been a very dry winter, and the lower trails of the marathon course/entire half marathon course are dry and almost completely free of snow or ice. There is some snow/ice/mud on the upper marathon course, but much less than normal. The half marathon is completely full and marathon runners may not move down in distance between now and race day. The deadline to defer entries to next year has passed. We look forward to seeing everyone in Salida very soon!

The 21st Annual Run Through Time Marathon, Half Marathon, and 2 Mile Run will take place on Saturday, March 14, in Salida, CO. These beautiful, challenging courses are run on dirt/jeep roads and narrow, hilly single track with fantastic views of Salida and the Arkansas Valley. Elevations range from 7000-9000 feet. Foot travel only. There is a 7 1/2 hour time limit for the marathon, and a 5 hour time limit for the half marathon. No crews or pacers on either course. Prizes will be awarded to the top three M/F in each race and top three F/M in each 10 year age group. A light hot meal will be available at the finish for contestants. All registered runners will receive custom race socks. There is a 500 person combined limit for the half marathon and full marathon (split mostly evenly between the two events).

Race takes place on the Arkansas Hills Trail System, BLM and Forest Service land, and Chaffee County and City of Salida roads and property. Donations from proceeds from this event will be made to Salida Mountain Trails and Chaffee County Search and Rescue-South (over the last 8 years alone, over $40,000 from race proceeds has been donated). We greatly appreciate their support of this event, and their contributions to the Chaffee County community in general!

There will also be a 2 mile run (first 2 dirt road miles of the marathon and half marathon course), and a free kids’ 400 meter run, which will take place in Riverside Park. Please contact Kristy Falcon at rttsalida@gmail.com with any questions or if you are interested in sponsoring or volunteering at this event.

    Escape to the mountains this summer for a long weekend of trail running, hiking, and connection in beautiful with a group of women who get it. We'll be based in a riverside home in Buena Vista, Colorado—just steps from Main Street, local trails, and surrounded by the kind of mountain views that make you remember why you do this.

    Each day, we'll head out for an adventure on the trails, with options ranging from 10–20 miles depending on your goals and how you're feeling. Some will run, some will hike, and many will do a mix — there's no "right" way to move through the mountains, and no pressure to perform. The highlight of the camp will be a group hike/run on Hope Pass or one of the 14ers in the Sawatch range (final itinerary based on the group and weather). We'll close out the weekend with a shorter shakeout run before heading home.

    Off the trails, we'll share meals, relax by the river, and soak in the laid-back mountain town energy that makes Buena Vista so special. Expect good conversation, honest miles, and the kind of friendships that form when women push themselves somewhere beautiful together.

    Think of it as part summer camp, part trail running getaway — a space to train hard, recover well, and leave feeling more like yourself than when you arrived.

    The High Lonesome 100 is a high flying endurance race in the Sawatch range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With 23,500' of vertical gain and reaching an elevation of 13,100', it's a hell of a course. The race runs in a loop through some of the most beautiful single track in the state, and takes runners on the Continental Divide and Colorado Trail, through 2 ghost towns, over 5 alpine passes, through remote basins, and over soaring ridges. It's also run and staffed by experienced and quality individuals, so you'll get to be a part of a wonderful community. If you're looking for a true mountain race, created in the spirit of the classic 100 milers, then look no further.
