Tent City is the heart of our race village, providing a dedicated space for solo runners and relay teams to establish their personal base camps close to the action. Located directly adjacent to the Start/Finish line, this village allows participants to set up canopies, recovery gear, and team nutrition for the duration of the 6 or 12-hour challenge. Every 10 mile loop starts and finishes in the heart of the action.
​
Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis starting Friday afternoon. We encourage teams to bring comfortable seating, banners, and plenty of spirit to cheer on fellow athletes. Please ensure all setups are removed by the conclusion of the event, adhering to our strict Leave No Trace commitment to help preserve the natural beauty of Barr Lake State Park.
​
Un-Crewed Solo Runners will have their own private space for Drop Bags, which can be dropped off between 5:30am and 6:30am.

*Please do not leave valuables in your bags. We cannot assume responsibility for any tents/equipment/drop bags left unattended.
