Bark, growl, unleash your inner snow dog, and have a howlin' good time, while running, mountain biking and Nordic skiing on the groomed ski trails at the lodge, high atop the Continental Divide.
The race consists of a 5k run, 10k mountain-bike ride and 5k Nordic ski. Triathletes, skiers, cyclists, runners and multi-sport enthusiasts – including beginners, individuals, pairs and teams of three racers – are all welcome to participate.
