The second annual Trespass Trail Challenge, organized by the Boulder Running Company, is set for Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 8 a.m. at the Nederland Elementary School in Nederland, CO. The challenging 10 mile off-road running race will benefit the Orphans of AIDS Trust Fund in South Africa.
All participants in the Ten Mile race, as well as volunteers, will receive a commemerative Sugoi sleeveless technifine running shirt (men?s and women?s sizes are available).
The Trespass Trail Challenge race course will begin at the Nederland Elementary School. After a 200m stretch of paved road, runners will veer onto dirt roads, taking Colorado Road 126 South to Caribou Road. The course continues to be rolling, making elevation gains, until the road separates at approximately 3.7 miles. Competitors in the 5 mile race will take a right-hand turn, circling back on dirt roads to finish at the school. Runners of the 10-mile course continue up Caribou; the dirt road leads competitors on an out-and-back to Caribou Mine where runners will crest the course?s maximum elevation of approximately 10,000 ft. The 10-mile course then reverses and follows the 5-mile loop back to the finish at the school.
There will be FOUR aid stations on the TEN MILE course providing Eldorado Artesian Springs water, Clif Shots and Accelerade sports energy drink to racers. A sweep vehicle will follow the last runner.
Entry fees includes a Sugoi sleeveless technifine running shirt (men?s or women?s), aid stations (Eldorado Water, Accelerade and Clif Shots) and post race party!
