This will be our first year in Mesa County Colorado for a little bit of fun among the mesas. With elevations ranging between 8,000 and 9,200 feet, this race is a good candidate for newer racers to the sport. The location is arid with trees, sand, and rocky outcrops. As is our specialty, this course is lovely and remote.
