Race Information
Experience the amazing Colorado fall colors, the fast and flowing singletrack of Rampart Reservoir, and the spectacular sweeping views of America’s Mountain, Pikes Peak, in the annual Above the Clouds Ultra! Runners’ journey begins in the beautiful “City Above the Clouds” of Woodland Park, CO, and ascends Lovell Gulch to the top of Rampart Range Road. The ultra runners continue south on Rampart Range Road, where they are greeted with some of the most spectacular views of Pikes Peak the region has to offer! The adventure continues in a counterclockwise direction around the fast and furious singletrack of Rampart Reservoir and eventually connects to the rarely traveled 700. A National Forest trail. From here, runners continue North along the quiet National Forest roads that provide incredible panoramic views of some of Colorado’s most beautiful mountains. Finally, runners descend the second half of the Lovell Gulch Loop back down to Woodland Park Middle School, where they are cheered to the finish line by family and friends! You definitely do not want to miss out on this Colorado fall classic!
