Coldwater In Your Veins

Coldwater In Your Veins is a distance running event based on a recurring lap format. Participants navigate a specific course with a set time limit for each rotation. The race consists of a 7.7 mile lap that must be completed within two hours. If a runner finishes a lap in under two hours, the remaining time is used for rest until the next scheduled start. Failure to complete a lap within the time limit or failure to be present in the starting area for the next countdown results in a did not finish (DNF) status.

The event is self-supported, meaning participants must carry or provide all their own aid. There are no pacers allowed, and assistance is limited to what a runner can provide for themselves or receive from other active racers. The race continues until runners can no longer meet the time requirements for the subsequent laps.

The course is located at the horse corral pavilion. It follows a loop that changes direction based on the lap number: clockwise for odd laps and counter-clockwise for even laps. Each loop includes 1252 feet of elevation gain, with the majority of the climbing occurring within the first 2.5 miles. Over various durations, the cumulative stats reach: Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.

  • 46.38 miles and 7512 feet of gain for 6 laps (12 hours)
  • 92.76 miles and 15,024 feet of gain for 12 laps (24 hours)
