100 KM Event Details

The 100K distance covers the mountainous portion of the 100 Mile run. The first half is mainly through Pike National Forest. Runners start at the historic Rock Ledge Ranch at Garden of the Gods and head down Midland Trail and continuing through a historic neighborhood between the Red Rock Open Space and Bear Creek Regional Park, eventually climbing up through North Cheyenne Cañon. This part of the course has significant climbing and is a true mountain ultra. Runners top out on Mount Rosa at 11,488 feet before descending through Cheyenne Cañon and then facing another grueling climb up Columbine Trail to reconnect with High Drive. Once back down from the cañon, runners head west on Midland Trail and up to Garden of the Gods to finish at Rock Ledge Ranch.

Cutoffs:
Note: times are for when a runner needs to be leaving an aid station

Old Stage (mile 32.8): 5:30pm
Captain Jack II (mile 47): 10:30pm
America The Beautiful II (mile 57.3): 1:00am
Finish (mile 63.4): 6:00am Sunday (24 hours total)

Due to permit restrictions, all runners need to be out of Bear Creek Regional Park before midnight which is why the cutoff allows ample time from ATB Aid to the Finish.

50 KM Event Details

50K runners will follow the 100 Mile course the entire way from Palmer Park to the finish at Garden of the Gods. The 100 milers will have just eclipsed 70 miles in their race so be sure to cheer them on!

Please be aware, this course is largely focused on city parks and trails. There will be portions of the race run on pavement including paths, sidewalks, and roads in order to connect to various parks in town. Runners are responsible for their own safety and yielding to traffic at all times. Runners will be required to wear proper lighting during the night portion of the race. While the majority of the course is dirt, there is a higher pavement percentage than many trail ultras. That being said, there will be plenty of time spent on our beautiful trails as you journey through the best that Colorado Springs has to offer!
