Sheep Mountain Ultras

The Sheep Mountain Trail Runs, part of the Human Potential Running Series, take place in Fairplay, Colorado, featuring challenging courses at an average elevation over 10,600 feet. The event offers three distances: a 50-mile ultra, a 50k, and a half marathon, catering to both ultra runners and those new to trail running. The courses traverse the rugged and scenic western slope of the South Park Valley, combining technical terrain with remote forest service roads and flowing dirt county roads.

With a 16-hour time limit and a runner capacity of 300, the race emphasizes a wilderness experience, stunning mountain views, well-stocked aid stations, and a supportive community atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
