2012 Winter Expeditions

It has become a winter tradition for Team Sherpa Ultra Running to create a series of Fat Ass events that helps us/runners motivate and continue to train during the winter months. 2012 will prove to be no different as Team Sherpa Ultra Running presents the 2012 Winter Expeditions.

As always, these "Fat Ass" style events are open to any and all qualified comers; though screening will be conducted to determine one's true ability to complete the challenges, given their sometimes risky nature. We do welcome those who wish to travel on a small part of the course to join us for any distance they are comfortable with. All events are unofficial, FREE, no aid, no t-shirts, no awards, no whining. Quite simply.. group runs.

March 17, 2012: High Line Canal 100K
A National Landmark Trail, the High Line Canal travels 64.3 miles from Waterton Canyon (south of Denver) to The Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Green Valley Ranch, CO. Mostly flat, mostly boring, mostly perfect for March.

January 28, 2012: Frozen Front Range Marathon - Completed - REPORT - VIDEO
A 24-26 mile adventure with over 10,000' of elevation gain and 10,000' of loss covering the Boulder Front Range Mountains of Sanitas, Flagstaff, Green, Bear, South Boulder and Eldorado.

February 18, 2012: Frozen Dead Guy 50K - Completed - REPORT
Starting in the home of the World Famous Frozen Dead Guy, this run travels on back country roads and trails from the Nederland, CO High School to Chatauqua Meadow in Boulder. Snowshoes required in the event of deep snows, lighter traction recommended for icy/dirt roads.


April TBA: Trail Ridge Assault - Postponed to 2013
Trail Ridge road travels nearly 50 miles from Granby, CO and the Headwaters of the Colorado River, up and over the Continental Divide to over 12,000 feet of elevation before dropping down into Estes Park. This trip will be a variation of snowshoes, skis and running shoes.. EPIC.
