Aspen Mountain Hill Climb is Sunday



Print Comment
ASPEN — The Aspen Mountain Hill Climb, a race for runners and bikers, has been resched­uled for Sunday. Now in its 14th year, the race begins at 8 a.m. at the base of Aspen Mountain, just above the Silver Queen Gondola patio on the Summer Road.

The 4.5-mile course follows the Sum­mer Road to the top of Aspen Mountain and finishes at the Sundeck, a 3,400-foot elevation gain. Aid stations will be located at Gwyn's Restaurant, Bonnie's Restaurant and at the finish line at the top of the mountain.

The hill climb is the second event of the annual Aspen Summer Race Series, which benefits the Aspen High School cross­country running program.

Entry is $10, and is tax deductible. Fur­ther donations are accepted.

Entrants may register at the Ute Moun­taineer in Aspen until 5 p.m. on Friday, or on race day beginning at 7 a.m. at the gon­dola patio. Registrations also are accept­ed online at www.active.com, keyword “aspen.”

The mountain biking wave starts at 8 a.m., while the running/hiking wave starts at 8:15 a.m.

All events in the race series offer age­group awards. There are also random drawings for prizes. Series winners also will be honored with additional prizes.

The third leg of the Aspen Summer Race Series will be the Chuck Severy Memorial 5K on Oct. 4.

For information on the 2008 Aspen Mountain Hill Climb, call Chris Keleher at 319-7519, or visit the Ute Mountaineer.
