Rocky Mountain Ultra Series Race Descriptions
The Dawn ‘til Dusk Race - Gallup, NM - April 10th-7am to 7pm
Dawn 'til Dusk is a fun, laid-back, affordable race. For 12 hours, participants ride one of the sweetest single-tracks in the southwest: a 13-mile loop of mostly hard packed clay through the pristine mesas of high desert terrain with 1700 feet of climbing make an excellent, fast rolling course. Native American prizes are awarded to the top three in each category. Camping at the staging area is free. The awards ceremony gives racers an opportunity to meet and mingle over dinner and beer. All proceeds go towards the Western Health Foundation, a non-profit organization in Gallup working to combat diabetes, an endemic problem in our neighboring Native communities. Can You Endure? Half points for Series given for duo riders, quarter points for team.
Front Range 50 - Lakewood, CO - May 8th
Encompassing the entire trail system of Bear Creek Lake Park, this 10 mile circuit will thrill racers and spectators alike as they pass through 5 circuits with a taste of fast singletrack and punchy climbs. Part of the Denver Fat Tire Festival offering convenient camping on-site, aid support every lap, plenty of cold refreshments, and a fun expo for the whole family.
Breckenridge 100 - Breckenridge, Colorado - July 17th
The Breckenridge 100 will rekindle your pioneering spirit and remind you of what backcountry mountain biking is all about. It features a sprawling course nestled between 2 ski resorts with a full spectrum of mountain terrain. A fund raiser for both the TAME foundation, which gives equestrian therapy to disabled children, and Mountain 2 Mountain which provides educational support for the mountain communities in Afghanistan. 1/3rd Series points given for team riders.
The Laramie Enduro - Laramie, Wyoming - July 31st
Wyoming’s premier endurance mountain bike race is 111K of pure pedal stompin’ fun. Beginning and ending at the Hidden Valley Picnic Area, this course winds through the beautiful Happy Jack Recreation Area of the Medicine Bow National Forest. It is a fast and extremely fun loop with virtually every kind of trail and surface a mountain biker is likely to encounter in the region, from wildlife trails to single track to dirt roads. The course climbs over 8600 feet.
Tour of Victor - Victor, Colorado - September 18th
Harkening back to the mining camps of our past, and an unexplored course that will take you through the hard labored claims of those hardrock miners who staked their fortunes before you, this one might be something special. There will be lots o’ gold in the forest that time of year. More details to come as well, as we try and locate the old timer who knows where the trail goes.
