Ok, so you found out about the Colorado Relay... Kudos for even thinking about attempting this baby! The wild adventure is only open to a limited amount of teams. That's right, and to boot, it's on a first come, first serve basis! The race starts in Breckenridge, CO and ends in Snowmass Village, CO - 200 miles of pure Colorado bliss.
This is the 'Original' - the 'OG' - the 'Pioneer' - the 'Authentic' and 'Embryonic' Relay race in Colorado. You get the picture. We ain't knocking off anything but your socks. We have the best damn course and we care so much about this race. Promise. We have raised over $400,000 for local Colorado charities - Outward Bound and First Descents. Each team donates an extra $250 on top of the registration fee which goes to our course volunteers.
New awesome stuff in 2012 that you'll receive:
- After you slim up that waist from running all the way to Snowmass Village.
- Finisher Pint Glass to fill up with brewski's and party with us.
- Ultimate comfy CO Relay brand Tech T-shirt
- Great finish line foods!
- Avery Brewing Finish Line Post Party

Course
Course - 2012
This years course will be linear! If you don't know what that means... it is a constant nonstop route from start to finish. The last two years, due to construction on Guanella pass, the original course was not passable. The new course starts at the Breckenridge Ice Rink in Breckenridge, CO and heads over Boreas Pass. The course also includes "Sweet" Georgia Pass and now ends in Snowmass Village, CO.
Packet Pickup is on Thursday night at the Breck Ice Rink parking lot. Our host hotel is Beaver Run in beautiful downtown Breckenridge.
New this year is also our minimum number of runners allowed in the standard categories. The minimum is now 7 runners and maximum of 12. You guys will make your way on a 195 mile trek over 2 passes, on the famous and beautiful Colorado Trail and through some of the most gorgeous landmarks and paths Colorado has to offer. Each athlete will run 3 legs (or as determined by number of runners), each ranging from 3 to 13 miles.
Ahhh... We wish that we could run in it too. Although, I think we all get more of a kick creating this epic endeavor. Yup, we do.
