THE DREAM

About Front Range Ultra Dayze — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

A 2-mile loop course, approximately 80% dirt and 20% paved surface.

The course starts near the shelter at Centennial Park, loops around the Rivers Edge Nature District,

then returns in the opposite direction to the start and finish area in Centennial Park.

It is flat and fast.

When the city cheers

“I slowed my pace, drank lots of fluids and iced up as much as possible.”

At the Front Range Ultra Dayz, the runner planned breaks around the heat and completed a 100-mile race followed by a 48-hour race. The first took 30 hours, 30 minutes, and 30 seconds, and the second covered 104 miles.
