Sandstone Sixer
The Sandstone Sixer is a six hour timed running event at Sandstone Ranch Open Space in Larkspur, Colorado, organized by Stoke Fine Racing. The event uses an out-and-back style loop repeated for the duration of the race.
The course is an 8 mile loop with about 765 feet of gain, sitting between 6,533 and 6,843 feet elevation. The loop passes back through the start and finish at mile 3.45, so runners pass an aid station roughly every four miles. Half a loop is a timed checkpoint and loops must be completed to count.
The event is cupless; participants should bring a personal drinking container. Aid is available at the start and finish, and the course is hand marked the day before the event. The organizers plan to stock aid for a full field and run timed checkpoints every half loop.
Registered entrants receive a custom hat and raffle tickets. Awards are given for distance achievements:
- 4 loops, 32 miles: 50K finisher medal
- 5 loops, 40 miles: 40 mile medal plus ten additional raffle tickets
- 6 loops, 48 miles: organizers note no expectation for this distance and provide a special reward
This edition is the first running of the Sandstone Sixer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
