If you dig trail running and long distances, then get ready for the inaugural Cheyenne Mountain 25K and 50K Trail races at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
Runners will tangle with a 25K loop (50K runners do it twice) beginning at 8 a.m., April 23. The race is being organized by Epic Endurance Events.
"This scenic 25K loop course begins on a wide open trail which winds its way along the base and part way up Cheyenne Mountain. Runners will traverse several different types of trails-small bouldering, twisty, sloping, densely wooded, and wide open prairie-all well marked to keep you on course! Aid stations will be fully loaded and placed to keep you running strong throughout your race."
