Run Boulder Skyline Traverse

This Saturday we'll be running Boulder's famous Skyline Traverse, which tags all 5 peaks - South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, Green Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain, and Mt. Sanitas. It is 18 miles with 6,700 ft of gain. Plan / prepare for an all day event (5-7 hours).

ROUTE
We are going to do the less common direction of north to south, since Runners Roost is also hosting a large event that is running the route south to north, so there will essentially be a party on the peaks! The past events like this have been a blast!

CONSIDERATIONS
If anyone would prefer to join for only part of the run, feel free. There are many points of entry / exit. If you need some ideas, message me, or comment below.

LOGISTICS
We will meet at the South Mesa trailhead at 6:30a. We will then get into as few cars as possible and drive to Centennial Trailhead to start at Mt. Sanitas. After the run, we will return the drivers back to Mt. Sanitas to get their cars.

NOTE: If anyone is interested in a shorter options starting at Mt Sanitas and is willing to meet us at South Mesa and give us a ride to the start, that would be awesome! Please reach out or comment below.

Please be on time. If you are running late and miss us at South Mesa, head to Mt. Sanitas (Centennial Trailhead). We'll plan to be running by 7:00a and head up the south ridge (Mount Sanitas trail) and start with the clockwise loop.

...if any of you super heros want to run to Centennial Trailhead, I'd be happy to give you a ride back from the finish.

Here are the route details from the FKT site.

If I missed any details, please add comments or questions to the discussion. Regarding breakfast, we'll decide at the end if we are up for it or not. If yes, we'll decide the restaurant then.

This route never disappoints. It's always an epic day!
