Sangre de Cristo Ultras

The Sangre de Cristo Trail Festival, hosted by the Human Potential Running Series, is a premier trail running event held near Westcliffe, Colorado, at Music Meadows Ranch adjacent to the Grape Creek Trailhead. Set in the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains along the scenic Rainbow Trail, the festival offers multiple race distances including 8-Mile, 27k, 50k, 50-Mile, 100k, and 100-Mile ultramarathons. Participants experience challenging terrain beneath dramatic mountain peaks, running along the wilderness boundary.

The event emphasizes community, wilderness immersion, and personal discovery, featuring well-stocked aid stations, camping options, and a supportive atmosphere. The 100-Mile race requires volunteer service prior to entry, and mid-race distance drop-down options are available for select races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
