Grab your headlamps and dust off your running shoes. The 14th Annual Colorado Relay has extended its course and is headed to Snowmass Village, Colorado. Event dates have been set for August 26-27, 2011.
“We couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity,” said Jeff Suffolk, CEO of Human Movement. “We are always striving to make this epic event better for our participants. The addition of Snowmass Village is the perfect venue.”
The Colorado Relay starts on Friday morning in downtown Georgetown, Colorado and with the addition of 20 miles to the course, will now finish on the mountain at Snowmass Village. The first expected finishers of the now 195 mile course will be in Snowmass Village around 10 a.m. Saturday morning, and the later teams will be coming through around 7:00 p.m.
In previous years, the course has been anywhere between 175 miles to 190 miles and finished anywhere from Glenwood Springs to Carbondale.
“The Colorado Relay is such a storied and incredible event,” said Dave Elkan, Events Director, Snowmass Village. “We were absolutely thrilled when the event directors inquired about bringing the race to our town.”
The race sells out annually at 150 teams and more information can be found at www.coloradorelay.com or www.snowmasstourism.com.
