The fourth running of the Run Rabbit Run 50 mile begins at 6 a.m. Saturday morning, in Steamboat Springs, on what is set to be a classic, fall Colorado day. The maximum capacity crowd of 190 racers will begin their day at the 6,900’ base of Steamboat Ski Mountain in clear, chilly weather with morning lows hovering around 40 degrees. Runners have 9,000’ of climbing throughout the day, cross the Continental Divide and eventually reach the turnaround at 10,500’ on Rabbit Ears Mountain.

The 2010 race is now part of the Montrail Ultra Cup series for 2010/2011, resulting in even more high caliber racers than usual, including Team Montrail’s own Joelle Vaught and Geoff Roes.
