Pony Express Trail Run
The Pony Express Trail Run is a scenic trail race held at Rampart Reservoir near Woodland Park, Colorado, at elevations between 9,000 and 9,400 feet. Offering two distance options—8.5 miles and 16 miles—the course features rolling single-track dirt trails with rocky sections and exposed roots, including a loop on the north side of the reservoir. The race highlights Colorado's autumn beauty, wildlife, and running creeks.
Limited to 100 participants to protect the trails, the event is small and intimate, with water-only aid stations and well-marked routes. Unique commemorative awards are given to all finishers, emphasizing participation over competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
