    If you want to experience fall mountain running at it’s finest, this is the race to do! You run through gorgeous groves of Aspen trees. The STUNNING views are why you run this race. It is somewhat difficult of a trail race, but nothing too crazy – be prepared to just take your time and enjoy it and you’ll have a blast. My only complaint is that for a race of this size and popularity they should have better swag – they ran out of Women’s Small shirts and did not have any finisher’s medals. Awesome raffle at the end with really good, valuable prizes (although I, unfortunately, didn’t win anything).

    Also – make the time to go check out the Maroon Bells (some of the most photographed mountains in the world) just west of Aspen while you’re in town for this race. It’s the PERFECT time of year to go!
