From the Organizer
Have you ever stood at the bottom of a mountain, staring up at the top, thinking to yourself: “I wonder if I could run all the way up there?” Well, now you’re going to find out!
The Mountain Marmot Trail Run is an epic trail race. The course is simple — start at the bottom of the mountain… run to the top. Sounds hard? Yeah, it’s going to take some work. But think how great you will feel when you make it to the top!
One thing is for sure… You won’t find a more beautiful course anywhere around. You’ll be running some of the most amazing single-track trails in Colorado, right as the Fall colors are just starting to change. The views will be stunning. This is a race you will never forget.
And because it’s such an impressive accomplishment, we’ll have a post-race celebration worthy of your effort. Once you cross the finish line, there's great food and beer… all included in your entry fee!
