Glendo State Park in Wyoming is a beautiful, under-utilized recreational area just under 3 hours outside of Denver. Glendo State Park is a 22,000 acre park in Platte County Wyoming, on and around Glendo Reservoir. There are 10,000 acres of land and 12,000 acres of water, 45 miles of multi-use, non-motorized trails, which make for excellent trail adventures. With sweeping views of the reservoir itself, as well as working dam, and hydro electric plant, this unique area is not one to be missed.
This is an excellent event for those looking to test or fine tune their night running skills. First time running in the dark? First time using a headlamp to navigate? Trying to practice staying up all night for your next ultra? This race aims to prepare you for your longer races later in the season. The Sunrise Scramble is a fun, safe way to hit the trails in the twilight.
Our home base will be the Two Moons Campground and runners will head out on loops of varying distances (from 1-13 miles). The idea will be to time your loops so that you finish all that you are aiming for before the sun officially pokes it’s head out. We have three different timed event lengths that you can sign up for 3 hours, 5 Hours, and ~10 hours. The full length event will be from sunset to sunrise which is about 10 hours that evening.
