Event Description: RAIN OR SHINE EVENT! Through the gracious generosity of the Levine family a large portion of this run takes place on pristine private property known as Reservoir River Ranch. The Ranch is otherwise inaccessible; we ask that you be respectful of this beautiful property and treat it as if it were your own. All entrants will receive a great shirt, all finishers will receive a fun finishers award and the top 3 men and women will receive special awards. The 3 mile run is almost 100% off-road. In the spirit of trail running we've added more off-road terrain this year. The 7 mile run is a challenging loop, with more than 700 feet of climbing. The course consists of approximately a 1/2 mile of paved road; the balance being trail which ranges from dirt road to double track to single track. The trail is mountainous and scenic with awesome views as well as challenging climbing and descending. Additionally, this course features a family and spectator friendly finish though downtown Pagosa Springs.

Perhaps the most unique and exciting part of this race is its relationship with the Mountain Chili Cha Cha festival. What better way to round out the day then to enjoy live music, cold beer and great food? If it is hot, you can cool off in the San Juan River or relax under the park trees while the chilis cook and the music rocks. All runs begin and end in Town Park, downtown Pagosa Springs, Co. The kids run will start at 7:30am. The 3, 7 and 15-milers will begin at 8am.

Beer garden opens at 11am. 5th Annual Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic (cook-off and tasting) begins at 12:30pm. Race awards at 12:30pm. Nosotros takes the stage at 1:30pm.
