Although the air will be noticeably thin at the starting line, Echo Lake's 10,600 feet of elevation is just the beginning. The climb totals nearly 4,000 vertical feet - much of it above treeline - as you make your way 14.5 miles to the finish line located at the summit of one of the most recognizable peaks on Denver's mountain skyline - 14,264 foot Mt. Evans.

NEW IN 2010: We have moved our post-race picnic and awards to the Echo Lake Lodge, adjacent to the start line. Also - we are offering a cash bonus for new course records!!!

Date & Time: The Race will start promptly at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday June 19th. Summit Bags must be loaded into truck by 7:00 a.m. Additional information on the event will be emailed to competitors prior to the event.

Packet Pick-Up: Packet pick-up will be available at the start line on race morning only. You will receive your bib number, participant goody bag, race shirt, and timing chip in your racer packet.
