Celebrating the Poudre River Trail! This long-distance race takes you on a sprawling tour of Northern Colorado via the picturesque Poudre River Trail. You'll enjoy scenic views and local amenities through Fort Collins, Timnath, Windsor and Greeley.
This race is an ideal option for beginners and seasoned-athletes alike. With a supported course, great aid stations and abundant exchange zones this truly epic journey makes for an unforgettable running experience. Ultra runners can receive aid from their crew at every Exchange Point (see leg maps below) and pick up a pacer at the halfway point, before starting Day 2.
Our post race party is waiting for all finishers at Island Grove in Greeley, with medals for all participants and belt buckles for 100 and 50 mile solo ultra runners. Celebrate your epic race accomplishment with festivities, food, snacks, drinks as well as cold plunges and recovery areas! Podium awards will be waiting for the top runners and teams.
We're excited to share this journey with you and be a part of the newly completed Poudre River Trail spanning through many beautiful areas in Northern Colorado...the place we call home.
