The folks at Epic Relays have a little something they're fixing to spring on us in 2011.
Get ready for the Epic Rocky Mountain Relay, July 22-23. It all begins in Woodland Park and ends in Crested Butte.
The preliminary route (some details are still to be finalized) follows Hwy 24 over Wilkerson Pass (9,507 ft.), across South Park and over Trout Creek Pass (9,346 ft.) to Johnson Village near Buena Vista. Runners will make a left turn and run south along Hyw 285 to Hwy 50, where they'll begin the climb up Monarch Pass (11,312 ft.). Then it is on to Gunnison and then north to Crested Butte at 8,924 feet.
Race map, elevation graphic and more specific directions.
The relay will consist of 12-person teams running three legs each.
Staring times will be announced at a later date.
