The mountain bike race, August 3, features a unique course that will require participants to conquer pieces of Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands. The Power of Four Run, August 4, is the newest challenge in the series giving runners their chance to scurry across 50K worth of trails. A mix of terrain covering more than 10,000 feet of climbing will make both races absolutely epic.
