We’re finalizing BTMR pre-race events, and yes, we are hoping the energy looks a lot like this again.

This was last year’s shakeout run, where apparently the assignment was: run a little, smile a lot, and jump with questionable form but excellent enthusiasm.

More details are coming soon for this year’s pre-race plans, so keep an eye out.

In the meantime, please enjoy this very serious athletic moment. 😆

BTMR is one of those races where the mindset matters just as much as the miles, especially when you know what is going to ask of you.

The climb, the descent, the familiar rhythm of the course, and the community that keeps coming back are all part of what makes this race special.

As race day gets closer, what’s your mindset this year? Are you focusing on staying steady on the climb, feeling confident on the downhill, or just being grateful to be back on Barr Trail?

BTMR training doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be specific.

Yes, you need to get comfortable with sustained uphill effort. That might mean hiking hard, running steady climbs, repeating shorter hills, or using the treadmill incline when you can’t get outside.

But don’t forget the way back down. The descent from Barr Camp asks a lot from tired legs. Practicing controlled downhill running, quick footing, and staying relaxed on uneven terrain can make a big difference on race day.

Uphill gets you there. Downhill gets you home.

What are you working on more right now, the climb or the descent?

There’s a point early on where you settle in and realize exactly what the day is going to ask of you, and from there, it’s all about staying with it.

That’s on race day. If you’re planning to take it on this summer, now’s a good time to get signed up before prices go up May 1st!

Early mornings on the mountain.
Long stretches where it’s just you and the trail.
Looking up and realizing how far you’ve come.

We’re lucky to have and right in our backyard, and it’s not something we take for granted.

Happy Earth Day!

BTMR has always been supported by local partners who believe in the race and the community around it.

As we plan for this year, we’re looking for sponsors to help support the event. Sponsorship helps us:
• support local nonprofits
• fund high school aid stations
• keep the race running smoothly

If your business is interested in being part of this year’s race, we’d love to connect!

Thank you to Manitou Brewing Company, Front Range Barbeque, and Natural Grocers for supporting us throughout the years!
