Gunnison Growler:

2010 ORIGINAL GROWLER RACE DESCRIPTION

The 2010 Original Growler will start at 7am sharp, Sunday May 30th with twin shotgun blasts. The course is the same as last year’s, with one small exception: we’ll be running it in the other direction (for the most part!) The well-marked course of around 30 miles contains loads of classic and challenging Gunnison singletrack – trails like Skull Pass, Top of the World, Rattlesnake, Ridge Trail and Joshos. You won’t be bored! The lap climbs around 4,000 vertical feet (but never more than a few hundred in one shot.)

Sage Burner:

The race offers distinctive awards, t-shirts, and prizes along with designing a challenging ultra distance 50K race course and a 25K course that will attract elite and citizen runners from around the county and the region. The Sage Burner will stand out as a high altitude, quad pounding, curvy, and undulating adventure.

Race proceeds will be donated equally amongst programs at Western State College of Colorado, including Club Sports and the High Altitude Performance Lab (HAPLab) along with Gunnison Trails a local non-profit trail advocacy organization.
