The Nature Connection hosts this 26.2-mile point-to-point trail marathon during peak fall foliage to raise funds for summer camp scholarships. The race begins at Crawford State Park, winding through scenic farms and ranches near Needle Rock. Runners then ascend into Gunnison National Forest, navigating aspen-lined slopes of Mt. Lamborn. After summiting Inter-Ocean Pass, the course descends past Lone Cabin Reservoir and into Paonia.
