If you liked the Rampart RAGE race, you'll love the Over the Edge Sprint Race. The beauty is unparalled. The trails are exciting and in the backcountry - you will be on no roads of any kind during this race. The terrain is rugged and inspiring. This will be an epic sprint race! You will be climbing and descending through pine forests, alpine meadows, and golden aspens in the mountain fall. At the peaks of the course you will earn views of the Continental Divide and the Indian peaks Wilderness Area. This gorgeous course lies minutes west of Golden and easy access from anywhere on the front range!
All racers will recieve a SWAG bag, a commemorative beer glass (no t-shirts this time), and will be entered into a SWAG raffle. Post Race Party will begin at 6:30PM. Food will be provided and winners will be announced.
