Event Course & Info

The HUNDO offers riders two challenging options: the full 100K HUNDO and the shorter, yet still demanding, 64K HUNDito. Each course brings its unique challenges and stunning views of Colorado’s Rocky Mountain terrain. Aid stations and SAG support are strategically placed to help riders push through and enjoy the experience.

The 100K HUNDO, which starts promptly at 8:00 am, covers more than 62 miles and over 6,500 feet of elevation gain. This challenging course traverses rugged trails, dense forests, and open meadows, showcasing the area’s natural beauty while demanding grit and stamina from each participant. Riders will encounter five aid stations stocked with water, Honey Stinger products, and sweet and salty snacks. The aid stations are positioned at mile 10.5 (Gashouse), mile 18 (Miller Gulch), mile 26.8 (Sandy Wash, with a cutoff time of 1 pm), mile 32 (Little Scraggy, with a 1:45 pm cutoff), and mile 50 (Gashouse Inbound, cutoff at 4:45 pm). The final station at Miller Gulch Inbound, located at mile 57.5, serves as the last checkpoint with a cutoff time of 6 pm. The cutoff times are enforced to ensure safety, and any riders who cannot continue may wait for SAG support at the aid stations. Medical staff are also stationed along the course, providing support in case of emergencies.

For those looking for a less intense challenge, the 64K HUNDito begins at 10:00 am and features over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. Riders on the HUNDito course pass through three key aid stations at mile 10.5 (Gashouse), mile 14.8 (Miller Gulch), and mile 23.7 (Sandy Wash), with a final station at mile 33.1 back at Miller Gulch. This course provides a taste of Colorado’s famous trails and challenging climbs while covering a more manageable distance.

Riders are encouraged to prepare thoroughly, as cutoffs are enforced to ensure a safe event. All participants who miss these cutoff times will be removed from the official race standings, although they may continue the course unsupported. Finish-line celebrations await those who complete the course, making for a memorable end to an extraordinary ride.
