We’re having a foot race up Cerro Gordo’s historic Yellow Grade Road! The first of what will become an annual event, produced by the amazing event production company Cloth and Flame.
If you’ve ever wanted to put your fitness to the test, now is your chance! This race will begin at the bottom of Cerro Gordo’s road, which is about 3,500 feet in elevation, and end at the deck of our museum, which is close to 8,200 feet in elevation. That’s almost a mile of elevation gain in a race just under 8 miles!
Finish the 8 mile trail run by running through this custom designed tunnel, drawing inspiration from materials and construction of old mine shafts.
At the top of the Cerro Gordo trail, runners will be able to rest and recover at a pop-up recovery lounge. Complete with shaded structures, hammocks, ice tubs and more, runners will have the opportunity to reward themselves with recovery options.
After recovery, we will have a catered event with food and drinks, all produced by the event company Cloth & Flame. There will be a recovery lounge and refreshments along the way.
The winner of this event will have their name forever remembered by being engraved in a silver plaque made from the silver out of the mines of Cerro Gordo.
This is all happening May 27th, 2023. We only have room for a handful of runners, so if you’re interested, sign up now! The race starts at 11am sharp, so be sure to get here a bit early!
