Race Course
Update 8/21/26: The last 2 miles of the Short Course has been changed from our last race at Brighton. This is due to a request from the venue. After reaching the saddle/water station below Clayton Peak, you’ll remain on the dirt road down to the finish.
Short Course: about 4.25 miles and 1200 feet of elevation gain (depending on your watch/strava).
You’ll start at Brighton’s base by the Alpine Rose and climb up to Dog Lake. After taking in the views, you’ll continue climbing on the Clayton Peak Trail. At the saddle/water station you’ll jump onto the dirt road and bomb downhill to the Finish! Thanks for your support and making it an AWESOME 2026 SEASON!
