What Makes It Great

Weld Your Mettle's 100-mile event challenges runners to repeatedly loop a flat, 4-mile groomed dirt out-and-back on a 146-acre private property outside Eaton, Colorado, until reaching 100 miles. What sets this race apart is its festival infrastructure: aid station and crew access every 2 miles, a fully stocked food barn, sauna, cold plunge, and massage zone are available throughout the entire 36-hour event window. Panoramic views of the Northern Colorado Front Range and Longs Peak surround the flat course. Supported by local nonprofits, this community-focused event emphasizes endurance, wellness, and connection.
