Welcome to Weld County's first ultra marathon and 7k run, walk or ruck, brought to you by the run.Windsor Race Series. Held on the Poudre River Trail. Connecting Windsor to Greeley, this race will strengthen your resiliency when faced with adversity and challenges.
We'll also offer a full marathon, and 7k Run, Walk or Ruck (4.35 miles) - in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month and the 70 suicides in Weld County in 2019. Proceeds benefit the local nonprofit Health4Heroes, providing a supportive community, connection, and encouragement, paired with direct, affordable access to local health & wellness services for veterans, first responders, and their families.
Entry into this race is more than a one day event. It's an invitation to change your life, challenge your excuses, dig deep and WELD YOUR METTLE.
Participants will receive a quality technical shirt, finisher medal, chip timing and special early release of Peculier Ales' "Weld Your Mettle IPA" - brewed just for this event!
The Heavy Marathon and Heavy 50k are the first professionally timed, organized Ultra Marathons to take place in Weld County. The 7k distance includes a walk/run and ruck with 35lb pack (not provided). All routes are out and back, with a finish at the Kodak Trailhead in Windsor.
The ultra routes both travel through Windsor, to Island Grove in Greeley, and back to Windsor via the paved Poudre River Trail. This trail offers beautiful scenery through secluded fields, open spaces and along the river. There are some areas where soft-surface on the side of the trail is available.
