Other trail races within 42 miles
A demanding circumnavigation of Colorado Springs linking Mount Rosa summit, North Cheyenne Cañon, and the iconic Garden of the Gods, with 11,065 feet of climbing across 64 miles. The route begins at historic Rock Ledge Ranch, threads through city parks and the Midland Trail before ascending steeply into Pike National Forest and topping out on Mount Rosa at 11,476 feet. A final descent and return through the red rock formations of Garden of the Gods sets up a dramatic finish — one of the most comprehensive and challenging 100K courses on the Colorado Front Range.
