I am a race director in Colorado and I am staging a relay event that has a H3 category.  Here's the info:   

 

-- Wild West Relay - "Get Your Ass Over the Pass" - 195 Miles - Ft. Collins to Steamboat Springs, CO Aug.19 - 20, 2005 --

 

The Wild West Relay is a 195-mile team relay race in Colorado designed for runners of all abilities.  Scheduled around the full moon in August, the second annual running of the Wild West Relay will be Friday, August 19th - Saturday, August 20th, 2005.

The relay begins next to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the historic university town of Fort Collins, Colorado (same say it's the microbrew capital west of the Mississippi, with New Belgium Breweries of "Fat Tire" fame and Odell Brewing Company to name a few), and finishes in the beautiful ski and summer resort town of Steamboat Springs.  Much of this very scenic and remote course runs through National Forests or along rural dirt roads.  The route winds through Roosevelt, Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests, and through small, mountain and ranching communities.

 

Team categories are divided into two main divisions: 12-person and Ultra (6-person). 

 

On the 12-person teams, each person runs three legs, each averaging 5.25 miles.  Categories include: men’s, women’s, mixed, open, and masters.  We’ve also added a "Flatlanders" (all team members must live below 2500 ft.) and the "Hash House Harriers (the red dress division) categories.

 

Ultra Teams have two choices - "6 x 1" where each runner does one leg averaging 32 miles, and "6 x 6" where runners each run six legs in rotation like the 12-person teams.

 

The Wild West Relay has partnered with "FirstCall 211" http://www.firstcall-vc.org, an organization that strives to enhance the lives of people by providing timely, accurate, and caring community resource information and referral to community members and non-profit organizations in the areas the relay runs through.

 

This will be a fun and organized event for all runners.  An early registration fee discount is in effect until March 31^st.
