Bridge Burner Ultra

Bridge Burner Ultra takes place in Canon City, Colorado. The event offers multiple distances—35 miles, 50K, 35K, and 10K—on a single-loop course. Runners follow the Arkansas River along Tunnel Drive, passing granite tunnels, then ascend to 7,109 feet for expansive views of Royal Gorge, the Sangre de Cristo range, and Pikes Peak.

The route features pristine singletrack in Royal Gorge Mountain Park, crosses the highest bridge in the United States, and descends through Temple Canyon. Elevation gain is about 4,500 feet. Marketed as a late-season race in “The Climate Capital of Colorado,” it includes well-stocked aid stations and a post-race meal, with Tailwind, Muir Energy gels, and hot food options onsite.
