Colorado XC MTB Races


I've been thinking of doing a cross-country race for some time and I think this may be the year to get started. Here's a list of Colorado races I've been compiling. I've included a range of shorter races (Winterpark) to longer endurance races (50 miles - 100K) and unsupported races. For each race I'd like to include an indicator of the difficulty, based on elevation gain. Elevation gain however can be misleading without knowledge of the terrain and it seems some races don't list elevation profiles. Some races are missing some details due to lack of information, or laziness.
