Sawatch Ascent 50K

Description:

Built to showcase the stunning beauty of the Sawatch Range, this high alpine and vert-heavy 50k will challenge and inspire you in equal measure! From starting under the shadow of Mount Princeton and the endless miles of buttery, aspen shaded Colorado Trail singletrack, to the awe-inspiring high point of 13,100ft and panoramic views of Colorado’s highest range, you will get to experience the wonders of the Sawatch over 33 miles and 7,000ft of vertical gain. Starting at 7am on Sunday, September 28 2024, runners will have 11 hours to complete the course. For the added challenges, runners can attempt the Sawatch 50/50 by running the West Line Winder and the Sawatch Ascent over the same weekend. The Sawatch Ascent is put on by Freestone Endurance, the same folks who bring you the legendary High Lonesome 100.
