Course
The Royal 50
This course and distance is for experienced, skilled mountain bikers only. This is a technical course with elevation gains of over 7,200'. If you have never raced before, are unsure of your ability to complete 50 miles, or are new to the sport of mountain biking, this option is not advisable.
The Gorge-ous 25
This option involves a 2,800' elevation gain and participants will only complete the first loop of the course, ~23 miles of singletrack. This course is challenging and has some technical elements, but could be suitable for an intermediate mountain biker or racer.
Point Alta Vista 5K and Half-Marathon
The running / trail races will take place on the same course (though NOT at the same time) as the mountain bike races. Each course will include singletrack trails and a trip out to the Point Alta Vista historic train trestles. This is Cañon City's ONLY race that includes these awesome features, and we hope you'll join us for a unique and memorable experience!
Course Map
We are building new trail every day and are hard at work mapping out the best course for the race. The course will involve mostly singletrack, natural-surface trails, but may also include portions of gravel road. We promise that there will be plenty of great flowy downhill, a healthy helping of climbing, and some fun technical sections. It'll be good, real good.
Please check out the newest version of our Royal Gorge Trails map below, or download a copy of our map or complete trail guide here. We'll post the official course map in summer 2019.
