What Makes It Great

The CDTR 5 Mile is a fun, accessible trail race on Steamboat's ski mountain, climbing 1,000 ft from the Torian Plum Lawn base area to a turnaround point before descending back to the finish. A self-supported effort with no aid stations — bring your own water. The only CDTR distance where leashed dogs are welcome on course. A great entry point into the Steamboat Springs Running Series.
