QUESTIONS?

“There is absolutely nothing like the TRR. The community that is built over that magical week is unlike any other. For me, it was a master class in trail running and I got to learn from the absolute best. That week now is a no-brainer: I will be in Colorado and at the TransRockies Run. Sign up to run or volunteer or both. You will not regret it!”

– Winnie L. 

Is Pass to Pub solo?

Yes, it is a solo race. No team category.

What will the weather be like?

Mid July weather in the Colorado Rockies can be quite variable. Mornings will typically be cool, with an increase of 10-15° over the course of the day. Afternoon thundershowers are not uncommon and in some years, we have seen snow at higher elevations. Leadville and Nova Guides it will dip down to high 30’s/low 40’s F overnight. Please come prepared for all conditions!

How do the accommodations work?

We provide backpacking tents for those who have chosen to purchase the camping option. You can book single occupancy or save a few dollars by sharing with your partner or a friend who is participating. One tent (7x 7) is provided, and extra tents are available for a fee if you require additional space. Remember to bring your own sleeping bag and pad. Tents are Eureka Midori 2 (7’4” x  4’7”), Midori 3 (7’4” x 6’) and Woodlands (7’x7’).
