173 miles in 7 days on foot in rugged high alpine backcountry with no aid stations and no drop bags. Fully self-supported outside of water, fire, and a spot in a tent. Sound like your kind of fun? We might be your kind of crazy!

$15,000 in prize money. $5,000 to the men's winner and $5,000 to the women's winner. With a twist.

If a woman wins the overall, we'll add another $1,000 to her pot--she'll take home $6,000! We want more women out there on the trails and we are working to help that happen. Got Ovaries? We have a section on our website letting you know some of the steps we are taking to make it happen.

This part of the world is absolutely breathtaking. The mountains in this area are enormous and extensive, and include many of the highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains, including Mount Elbert. Mount Elbert is Colorado’s 14,433-foot iconic peak that serves as the highest point in the state and the second-highest in the contiguous United States. The mountains here are high, massive, imposing and beautiful.

The town of Leadville itself, or "Cloud City USA," is the highest incorporated city in the United States, at 10,200 feet!  A former silver and gold mining town lying near the headwaters of the Arkansas River in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the Leadville Historic District contains many structures and sites from its dynamic mining era.

Once one of the West's most lawless towns, Leadville overflowed with fortune-seeking miners, infamous outlaws and brawny mountain men.

We don't have country quotas. We do have locally made belt buckles for all finishers. Early bird pricing is in effect!
