San Juan Solstice 50 Mile

The San Juan Solstice 50 Mile Run is an annual ultra-marathon held in Lake City, Colorado, typically around the Summer Solstice. Established in 1995, the event has evolved into a community benefit for local EMTs. The race features a challenging course that includes high mountain terrain and varying weather conditions, requiring participants to have prior ultra-running experience.
