Description
This course is like no other, including the Big Arsenic and Little Arsenic trails at the Rio Grande Monument. Rugged gravel paths wind down into the spectacular Rio Grande Gorge, past gorgeous ponderosa pine groves and natural fresh-water springs. Runners will pass ancient petroglyphs and sprint along the wild Rio Grande in an intimate way offered nowhere else. The run ends with an outrageous climb 800 feet back up to the mesa, at points using both a staircase and a ladder, to ensure a truly unique race experience.
