The day unfolds under the vast Colorado skies, where the Rocky Mountains frame each step along the flat and fast course. The air is crisp and clear in early June, carrying whispers of summer's warmth to come. As runners pass through lush grasslands and soft dirt paths lined with gravel, they're greeted by a diverse community of rescued animals—each one telling its own story of survival and hope.
Since its inception, the Haul Ass Ultra Running Festival has grown into an annual tradition that celebrates both athletic endeavor and compassionate care for farmed animals. This year marks another milestone in this grassroots event's history, with participants ranging from casual runners to ultra-distance enthusiasts coming together at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary. A portion of proceeds will be donated to support the sanctuary’s mission to provide lifelong care and love for rescued farmed animals.
The course itself is a serene loop through the sanctuary grounds, featuring flat terrain with only about 200 feet of elevation gain across its entirety. The mixture of dirt trails, grassy patches, and soft gravel surfaces ensures that runners can enjoy a comfortable pace without technical challenges or steep climbs. Notable landmarks include scenic overlooks where participants can pause to admire panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains.
Registration for this event is now open via UltraSignup at https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=137162, with fees ranging from $55 for a 5K run up to $140 for participation in the 12-hour endurance challenge. Runners should be prepared for typical June weather conditions: average temperatures around 19.7°C (feels like 19.7°C), occasional rainfall of about 2.8mm, and UV index reaching very high levels at 8.0. The trail surface is firm but slightly soft underfoot.
To ensure a smooth experience on race day, participants should pick up their bibs from the event hub located at 3470 Co Rd 7 in Erie starting two days before the event. Age requirements vary by distance, with all runners needing to be over 18 for endurance events and open to younger participants for shorter distances like the 5K or 10K.
The Haul Ass Ultra Running Festival offers a unique blend of athletic challenge, community spirit, and compassionate care at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary in Erie, Colorado on June 6th. It’s an event that brings together runners from across the region to celebrate both their own achievements and the sanctuary's mission of providing lifelong homes for rescued farmed animals.
