Course
The Summer Roundup Trail Run starts and finishes in Bear Creek Park in Colorado Springs.
The park is part of El Paso County Parks.
The course uses park trails to get to High Drive on the west side of Colorado Springs.
Both the trails and High Drive are well-groomed with lots of spectacular scenery. The out-and-back course is
mostly uphill on the way out, and mostly downhill on the way back. Starting elevation is about 6,170',
and the elevation at the turn around point is about 7,165'. That’s nearly 1,000' elevation gain in
3.7 miles (at the turn around point). While a challenge in its own right, this also makes a great training run
for the Pikes Peak Ascent® or Pikes Peak Marathon®.
