INDIAN CREEK TRAIL RUNS

In Colorado, significant snows can happen during this time of year. In the event of a major snow storm (5″ or more on the ground) we are required by our permit to move the race to our snow date of Saturday, October 19th. If upon moving our date you can no longer attend, you will receive a partial credit (expiring on 10/19/2025) good towards any one of our other races. In the event that our event is outright cancelled due to inclement weather on our snow date, we will provide remaining participants with the same partial credit. This partial credit will be based on the expenses incurred per runner in order to host the event. It should be noted that in this events history we have never postponed or cancelled due to snow. 

It’s Halloween! Wear your favorite costume. The best costume will win a free race entry and a bottle of wine!

Select HPRS events allow a mid-race drop down in distance, where you will still receive a finisher's award and have your finish time in the results, in the event that you bit off more than you can chew.

Any runner who starts the 55k may drop down at the 15-Mile point of their run and receive a finisher's award, as well as their time in the 15-Mile results.

Any runner who starts the 50-Mile may drop down at the 55k point of their run and receive a finisher's award, as well as their time in the 55k results.

There is no drop down option for the 5-Mile or 15-Mile distances; meaning, you must finish the distance you start.

There are no refunds or credits, full or partial, for the difference in distance dropped to. HPRS supports responsible risk management decisions of our runners to call it a day if the challenge is more than you're feeling up to. Live to run another day!

Event check-in will take place from 4:30am - 8:00am on event morning at the Start/Finish area, Indian Creek Campground, CO-HWY 67/Pine Creek Road, Sedalia, CO 80135

Held virtually during the week leading up to the event.

All participants are allowed to have a drop bag at the Indian Creek Campground (start/finish area) ONLY. Drop bags should be dropped off on race morning prior to the start of your event.ﾠ All participants may have access to their drop bag every time they are at the Indian Creek Campground.

Please leave nothing of value in your bag. Do not leave your drop bag behind. All abandoned drop bags are disposed of immediately at the conclusion of the event.ﾠ

All participants and spectators must park at the designated parking locations ONLY. A map of these areas will be available closer to the race.ﾠ

Parking at Indian Creek is limited, therefore you are encouraged to carpool to the event, and crews/spectators are highly discouraged.
