If you’re reading this and considering entering – you’re already amongst friends – so sign up. Do this for yourself; not bragging rights.

This adventure lends itself to the longer side of things and you should be prepared for the unexpected.   If you sign up we immediately believe you to be capable of determining what gear is appropriate for YOU for an adventure of this magnitude in regards to clothing, tools, nutrition that are beyond the required items below.

Start Time:

8 am February 1st, 2020

Distance:

50ish miles

Aid Stations:

There will be aid stations with sweet/salty snacks plus Steamboat’s very own Honeystinger items.  Water will be available as well but you should be prepared to spend 40-50 miles alone in the wilderness with ample supplies.  You can stock up before heading out – just be sure to leave some for everyone else ok?

Location:

25 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Course Headquarters is The Hahn’s Peak Roadhouse; located in the sleepy, quirky and at times rambunctious village of Hahn’s Peak – basically directly across the street from Steamboat Lake State Park.

This event is permitted by The Routt National Forest.  Respect your forest when you are out there.  Always.

REQUIRED GEAR LIST:

• NO E-BIKES.  Fatbikes only. Minimum of 3.7 tire width. No plus size tires.
• Front and rear safety lights to be on at all times. We are sharing the trails with snowmobilers. It’s important for them to be able to see us.
• Riding lights.  Even if you finish in the light it’s better to be safe right?  Be prepared – lumens of your choice. Headlamp? Bar mount? Both? Your call…
