 Warriors Cycling and The Rocky Mountain Ultra Series is proud to introduce the inaugural Front Range 50 Endurance Race, which will be the 2nd stop of the RMU Regional Championship Series.
Race update 5/14
Feed Zone - There will be tables set up with coolers of Hammer Heed and water that you can stop and fill your own bottles with. We will have cups of refreshment available to grab and go. (sorry, no bottles) Plan on staging your own bottles and food on the table, in a cooler, sack or whatever at the feed zone if you want to have your own feed available.
Race Update 5/12
The course is marked!
The race course will be open to other users during the race (hikers, horses, kids, dogs, etc.) so please be aware, use caution, and most of all be respectful so we don't lose this great venue. There will be signage to inform others that a race is in progress, but you never know who could wander on course unknowingly.
Also be aware there are two races going on simultaneously, the Front Range 50 and Battle the Bear. So, there will be racers passing and being passed, some from different races. Please be courteous, communicate to each other, and use good sportsmanship. The goal is to have a good time while still racing hard and keep in mind it's not the world championships, so be patient for a moment or two if it's not a good place to pass. Help each other to have fun out there!
The weather forecast looks good! - but if we do get a rain shower come through, start times may be adjusted accordingly.
