Event description
Event Highlights:
Race #5. Held outside the quaint village of Elbert on the Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch, this venue harkens back to a time of windmills and cowboys. Intimate camping at the venue offers a well - peaceful, setting in which to crown the Series Champions. The 22 mile loop winds through low hills of Black Forest and Ponderosa Pine, which is sure to put a big ring grin on competitors faces as this private course is a real delight. The views of Pikes Peak and rolling prairie are memorable. Join us in the rustic dining hall for post race supper and Oskar Blues Awards Ceremony. The quiet, back in time feeling at the Ranch makes it a great opportunity to bring the family and enjoy the solitude in the woods.
Free Warriors Kid's race will take place at the finish line at 2:00pm.

Course Description:
See course map and elevation profile at top of page. Be the first racers to do battle on a spectacularly scenic course that rolls through prairie grassland and pine forest of eastern Colorado. You'll be singing "Home on the Range" as deer and antelope will be your companions. This 22 mile loop winds through the low hills of Black Forest and Ponderosa Pine, which is sure to put a big ring grin on competitors faces. This private course is a real delight. Although you won't need granny gear often, don't let this course fool you as it has 2,150' of gain per lap. RME Marathon competitors will complete 3 loops, Two-Thirds race two and XC distance racers one.
Feed Zone:
There will be Aid Stations every 7 miles stocked with Hammer Gels, Lara Bars, bananas, oranges, watermelon, Justin's and Great Harvest PBJ's, Clif Blocks, Fig Newtons, pretzels, etc. with bottle handups and jugs of Hammer Heed and water. The course will loop through the Start/Finish area where you can set up tents and stage supplies in the Pit Zone.

Camping:
This camping rocks! Complimentary Scout style campgrounds amongst the large pines with hot showers and wash sinks, situated right on the course, make for a wonderful place to bring the family and escape from the rush of the city. Bring a sleeping bag, tent, RV, trailer, or whatever you got and we'll make sure you get a place to bed down. Come down and camp Friday and Saturday before the race and partake in our racer potluck Saturday night. Bring a dish and join us in the dining hall for a potluck dinner, smores, and more. Stay and camp after the race as well. We have 24 bunk beds if you want one (camp style mattress- bring your own bedding) (4 bunkbeds per cabin- 8 beds total), we will have one male, one female, and one coed bunkhouse. There are mosquitoes in these woods - bring repellent! Keep Fido on a leash and pickup after him.
