La Garita 200
The La Garita 200 is a 200-mile mountain race held in South Fork, Colorado and organized by Tempest Adventures. The course is a large loop that begins and ends at the same location, with a short out-and-back section used to connect parts of the loop.
The route follows the Rio Grande valley out of South Fork and climbs into the La Garita mountains, reaching elevations just under 13,000 feet. Participants run through arid pine forests, ascend over alpine tundra, and descend into broad mountain parks before completing the circuit and returning over tundra to the finish in South Fork.
The event is presented as an overnight ultra-distance race across varied high-mountain terrain. The description emphasizes continuous loop navigation, significant elevation gain to near 13,000 feet, and a mix of forested and tundra environments along the course.
