Indian Creek Trail Runs

Indian Creek Trail Runs

The Indian Creek Trail Runs is the 13th annual edition of a multi-distance trail event held at Indian Creek Campground in Sedalia, Colorado. The event offers the following distances:

• 50-Mile
• 55k
• 15-Mile
• 5-Mile

Combined runner capacity is 225. Time limits are 14 hours for the 50-Mile and 55k, and 12 hours for the 15-Mile and 5-Mile. The start and finish are at Indian Creek Campground.

Courses use seldom used single-track trails through lower and upper montane ecosystems. Terrain includes lodgepole pine forests around 6,000-8,000′, sprawling aspen groves, and lower montane areas near 5,000′ with tall grasses and red rock formations. The route offers multiple viewpoints with visible cityscapes, Red Rocks-style rock formations, and occasional views of nearby 14ers. Weather in October can be variable and may include rain, snow, wind, hail, or thunderstorms; typical averages are about 65˚ high and 35˚ low.

Event services include gender-specific race shirts, finisher medals, well stocked aid stations, and a runner drop bag location at the start/finish area. Camping is supported for tents and limited camper vans and rooftop tents for a fee and reservation; trailers are not permitted. The 50-Mile allows one pacer on the final loop only. Select mid-race drop down options are available for the 50-Mile and 55k as described by the organizer. Parking and crew access are limited and restricted to designated areas. Permits for the event are held with local land agencies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
