The iconic four pass loop in Colorado with an even more iconic community of open hearted ultra runners!

Depart with us at 8:30am from The Den in Colorado Springs to head to the West Fork trailhead in Crested Butte Colorado. The 27th will include a good long drive, some paddle boarding and an awesome cookout with the crew at the campsite.

Saturday, September 28th we will have an early wake up call around 3:15AM before starting the Run at 4am. FOUR PASSES - 10,000 feet of climbing - Lots of exposure to sun and high altitude. This route is no joke! But it is more than doable for the well prepared athlete. The only cutoff for this group run will be around 6pm the night of the 28th as we will plan to depart by 7:30 at the latest.
