🌄 Race Description

With glorious views of the Collegiate Peaks and 4,000ft of ascent along the way, these 18 or 30 miles of buttery single track and forest roads are perfect for everyone from the first time trail runner to the veteran ultra runner. Although the Arkansas Valley is famously known for its high alpine peaks, it’s a well kept secret that there’s a stash of arid, desert style trails just outside of Buena Vista (BEW-na Vista), CO - giving the West Line a feel like no other.
