Sangre de Cristo 200-Mile

This 200-mile ultra is NOT for beginners. We consider it a graduate level run, and we feel that you should too! It is ultimately up to you to decide if you’re ready to face the challenge or not.

We highly encourage you to participate in one of HPRS’ other events in order to better familiarize yourself with our brand of ultra.

We also highly encourage you to complete at least one 100-mile ultra in the 365 days leading up to this event.

With all that said, there is no official race distance or time one must have completed in order to enter this event, and all comers are welcome. Entrants under the age of 18 are welcome and will be required to have their parent or legal guardian sign the waiver on their behalf AND their parent or legal guardian must be present (in attendance) throughout the entirety of the event.

HPRS reserves the right to deny service to any individual whom we feel their participation would negatively impact the event, HPRS as a whole, their own health and/or safety, and/or the health and/or safety of volunteers. We also reserve the right to deny service to those whom we feel are not adequately prepared for this type of undertaking. In other words.. Don’t be a jerk, run with us prior, and take seriously the idea of finishing a “mountain” 100-miler BEFORE you commit to this event. 

Eight (8) hours of volunteer work is required for each participant prior to the event. All eight (8) hours must be completed while either performing trail construction or maintenance, or as a race volunteer at any official ultramarathon. The eight (8) hours of service must be certified by a representative from the organization you volunteered with. The eight (8) hours does NOT need to be with HPRS.

Those who choose not to complete the 8-hours of volunteer work may "Buy-Out" of this requirement during the registration process by paying a one time donation to Altitude Community Fitness (our event's benefactor) in the amount of $150. Those who do not submit their Volunteer Service Requirement Form by September 1st, will be required to go the buy-out route for entry into the event.

Should you decide to drop to any of our shorter distances at this event, HPRS will not issue any credits or refunds (full or partial) for the difference in price you’ve paid versus the price of the race you are dropping down to. Those dropping in distance forfeit the price difference in doing so. You may drop down in distance at any time up until race start.

Once you start the 200-mile, there is a mid-race drop down option at the 100-Mile mark. Those who wish to be done at 100-Miles will receive a finisher's award, 100-Mile finisher's buckle, and your name in the 100-mile results. There is no refund or credit (in full or partial) for utilizing the mid-race drop down.
