NEW THIS YEAR:
The Haulin' Aspen full marathon introduces a three-person relay option, giving teams the chance to experience the full 26.2 mile all-trail course together. The race begins and Wanoga Sno Park, where Runner 1 takes on the first 9.6 miles to Transition 1 at Aid Station 3. Runner 2 then covers the longest leg – approximately 11.7 miles – continuing along the course to Transition 2 at Aid Station 7 (mile 21.3). From there Runner 3 tackles the final 4.9 mile stretch – an uphill push back to the finish at Wanoga. This new format offers a dynamic way to share the challenge while still taking in the scenic, high-elevation terrain of the course.
