Red Feather Trail Jamboree - Half Marathon

Welcome to the Red Feather Trail Jamboree, a three-day trail running weekend put on by trail runners for trail runners.

Come enjoy the clean air and wild spaces of the Red Feather Lakes region in Northern Colorado! Take advantage of the opportunity to explore some new trails on the private land of the Ben Delatour Scout Camp and surrounding national forest.

The half marathon courses is mostly smooth dirt with moderate climbs and no on-course cut-offs. The 50km course takes in some more technical terrain over its first 10 miles before connecting with the flowing and runnable trails within the National Forest Service system. Like the half marathon, there is no time cut-off. The 50 mile route combines 5 different trail systems within the National Forest and Boy Scout property with a high point just under Middle Bald Mountain in the Laramie Mountains. There is a single cut-off at the 50K point.

With miles through moose-heavy forest and fields, streams and rocks, this route has something for everyone. Facilities at the race venue include campgrounds and cabins for rent, a community dinner in the dining hall and an on-site shower house. We want to make this a fun, family-friendly weekend for all!

We aspire to not only offer a first class trail racing experience on a scenic and impeccably marked course, but also a top-notch event experience that will leave your bellies full and the stories flowing.
