This one is for the ladies!
We know that historically at mountain races, sometimes as the distance goes up, female participation numbers go down. As women and mothers we understand more than anyone the multitude of reasons of why this might be.
Last year at our Continental Divide Trail Run, the amazing 50K had about a 32% finisher rate from the ladies and our stout 16M ( 25k++) had a ~55% female finisher rate, both amazing!
Both of these races are challenging, beginning with a 3300 ft climb to the top of and we love to see the ladies taking on the challenge!
This race is led by female race directors, and ( slide 14) and the series is directed by
Currently, our 50K is at 45% female entrants and the 16M is at 70%, the highest numbers yet! We also offer a 5 mile route that has plenty of challenge packed into those 5 miles. We love to see this πͺ
This is such a beautiful event and always offers amazing camaraderie and competition for women and men. We are are also happy to offer a non-binary category. The race travels all over the stunning single track at the resort and offers some of the most beautiful views of the Yampa Valley. The 50K further takes runners out along the Mountain View Trail to Long Lake, a beautiful lake at the head of the Fish Creek drainage near the Continental Divide.
Registration is open at www.runningseries.com and on and we hope to see you on 8/29
