What part of the course are you thinking about most right now?

The start?
Settling into Barr Trail?
Getting to Barr Camp?
Turning around and starting the descent?
Staying sharp on the way back down?
Or that final stretch back to the finish?

The 25th running is getting close, and we know every runner has a section of the course already taking up space in their head.

BTMR is sold out, but the force is still strong with our aid stations.

We still have High School Aid Station Sponsorships available for this year’s 25th running, and this photo is a pretty good reminder of why they matter.

Local high school teams don’t just man aid stations; they bring energy, creativity, costumes, cheers, and the kind of race-day support runners remember.

As a sponsor, you’re helping give back to the next generation of runners while supporting the teams that help make BTMR feel like BTMR.

The field is full, but there’s still room to show up for this race in a big way.

A huge thank you to Drew from The Woodlands, Texas, for stepping up as a $500 High School Aid Station Sponsor for this year’s race!

Drew recently ran the Garden of the Gods 10 Mile (bib 1335), will be lining up for the 25th running of the Barr Trail Mountain Race, and is also taking on the Pikes Peak Ascent as part of the Garden to Peak Challenge.

For Drew, supporting the local high school cross country teams while also racing BTMR himself felt like a full-circle moment. After 18 years of running, he shared that his heart has always been with the running community and that he believes in taking care of the events that give runners so much.

We are incredibly grateful for his generosity and support of the High School Aid Station Challenge, our local teams, and the community that makes BTMR so special.

Thank you, Drew. We’ll see you on Barr Trail. 🏔️

Race Director Beth is giving this year’s BTMR hat a proper trail test, and we have to say… it looks pretty good out there.

The 25th running is coming up fast, and we’re getting excited to see you in July!

One of the best parts of BTMR is the High School Aid Station Challenge!

Local high school cross country and track programs staff aid stations on race day, bringing all the energy, support, and encouragement.

After the race, runners get to vote for their favorite aid station — and the team with the most votes receives the largest share of the donation dollars. Over the years, BTMR has donated more than **$100,000** to area high school running programs!

So when you’re out there on July 19, pay attention to those aid stations. Cheer them back, say thank you, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite after you finish.

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. 😆

A huge thank you to our longtime partners at Front Range Barbeque!

They’ve been supporting BTMR for years by helping provide post-race food for our runners, and we’re so grateful for the way they continue to show up for this race!

Thank you, Front Range BBQ, for being part of this race year after year. We appreciate you!

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?
