North Fork 50 Mile
Buffalo Creek, United States • 31 May 2025
The North Fork 50 Mile/50K is a premier ultramarathon held in Buffalo Creek, Colorado, about 50 miles southwest of Denver. The event features two distances: a 50-mile race with 6,425 feet of elevation gain and a 50K (31.1 miles) with 3,670 feet of climb. The course is 100% soft surface, primarily singletrack trails winding through ponderosa pine forests, granite rock formations, and areas affected by the 1996 Buffalo Creek fire, offering scenic mountain views. The race emphasizes a personal, small-field experience with well-supported aid stations and a festive finish line. Proceeds benefit the local North Fork Volunteer Fire Department.
