I've signed up for my first mountain run. The Barr Trail Mountain Race will have its 11th running on July 18th of this year. As a trail runner, Colorado is virtually a grown-up's playground for outdoor activities. Obviously, I'm excited about the prospect of racing on one of the most well known peaks in the country. I'm also anxious about how it will go.
The race is an added bonus to our summer vacation. It's literally the first thing we do when we get there. We'll be driving out on Saturday the 17th from Oklahoma City, hope to arrive at a decent time that evening in Colorado Springs and get up very early the next morning to head to the race. As a flat lander, starting a race at 6,570 and climbing to 10,200 will be nothing short of uncomfortable. But it will be a blast no matter how you look at it.
Here is a link to the race website that offers course description with some photos along the Barr Trail and elevation profile.
