Presenting a new vision for the previous Divide 100. Over the years I have been working toward an event that does this area justice and also interests runners. Apparently the 100 mile was too hard (every starter who had previously finished Hardrock DNF'd). Come check out the most beautiful alpine running Colorado has to offer. Big climbs, big views. These courses challenging, but extremely well-supported and with generous cut-offs to allow runners to challenge themselves.
50 Mile
A point-to-point mountain run from Geneva Creek near Bailey Colorado in the shadow of Mount Bierstadt and finishing in Empire, Colorado. 14,000 feet of elevation gain and 15,200 feet of descent. A high point of 13,200 feet and miles along the Continental Divide Trail. There will be a 16 hour Cut-off.
50 Kilometer
A lollipop course out of Empire, Colorado featuring singletrack trail and historic mining roads and rail grades in the area. 8500 feet of elevation gain and descent with a high point of 10,900 feet. There will be a 9 hour cut-off.
