About the race
Ram Party Trail Runs takes place on May 15, 2027 around the Rampart Range and Rampart Reservoir near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event is based at Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort and offers multiple trail race distances that use local single track, forest roads and sections of Rampart Range Road. The course high point reaches about 9,500 feet and some courses list significant elevation gain; for example, the 55 Mile course covers 53.9 miles with about 6,964 feet of total ascent. Aid stations are positioned along each course and 55 Mile runners have designated drop bag locations, including at Rainbow Gulch where that distance passes twice.
Crews may access start and finish areas and pacers are permitted for the final segment from Rainbow Gulch Aid II to the finish on the 55 Mile course. The 60K is a point-to-point route that finishes at Buffalo Lodge and uses a shuttle to the scout camp start location; no pacers are allowed for the 60K. On-site parking is extremely limited; event information lists several nearby parking options. Weather notes state temperatures can be much cooler at higher elevations and recommend warm layers and a rain jacket.
Lodging options include Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, which is noted as offering a 25 percent discount for participants and volunteers for selected dates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
