Course, rules and support
The course includes technical slickrock, smooth singletrack, and doubletrack. The route passes rolling hills and punchy climbs in a high desert climate, with sage brush and wide views of the Maroon Bells, San Juan Mountains, and the Gunnison Basin. Dogs are not allowed on any race course; they may be at the Start/Finish Line area but must be kept controlled, at least 20 feet away from the Start/Finish Line, and on a leash at all times.
All participants receive a BOCO Gear running trucker hat, a commemorative finisher's medal, and a Hydrapak collapsible reusable cup. Place awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers for each distance. A portion of proceeds will be donated to Gunnison Trails. Packet pickup occurs at Hartman Rocks Recreation Area the day before and on race day. Volunteers are used for event support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
