What to Bring

  • Trail-ready shoes (this is singletrack with real elevation change)
  • Layers, since late-November mornings in Ouray run cold
  • Water, especially if you're taking it slow
  • A watch or phone if you want to track your time. This is a fun run, not a timed race

Good to Know

  • This is a fun run/community event, not a chip-timed race.
  • Course will be marked, but bring a phone with the route saved just in case.
  • Parents: kids under 18 need a parent or guardian signature on the waiver during registration.
  • Dogs are welcome!
