From the Organizer
The Human Potential Running Series Presents
The Sangre de Cristo Trail Festival @ Music Meadows Ranch
Come join us on the Rainbow Trail in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Run beneath the watchful eye of gorgeous, jagged, and ominous peaks from the confines of the rolling Rainbow Trail. This race is full of festivities, friends, challenge, and joy. Camp out with the HPRS tribe, whichever distance you choose you’ll wander through the Southern Colorado Rocky Mountains, and embrace the feeling of the wilderness within, while you run along the literal wilderness boundary the entire way. No race in our country is in a more wild setting. This unique race is about community, traveling together, discovering the hidden treasures in the mountains and those within yourself.
