Sheep Mountain Ultras
The Sheep Mountain Trail Runs, part of the Human Potential Running Series, is an annual trail running event held in Fairplay, Colorado. The 11th edition offers three race distances: a 50-mile ultra, a 50k, and a half marathon, all starting and finishing at the Town of Fairplay Beach. The course challenges runners with an average elevation over 10,600 feet, featuring rugged mountains, technical terrain, remote forest service roads, and scenic views along the western slope of the South Park Valley.
The half marathon provides a gentler introduction to trail running with flowing dirt roads and fire roads. The event emphasizes community, inclusion, and a wilderness experience, with well-stocked aid stations and finisher awards for all distances.
