How can I best acclimate to Estes Parks elevation?
Estes Park is located at a HIGH altitude for any athletic event! You may experience problems associated with running or walking at elevations of 5000 feet and higher. We recommend that you arrive 2-3 days before the race, eat lightly, avoid alcohol, and drink a lot of fluids without caffeine. Runners, you should be prepared to walk parts of the course if you feel any signs of altitude sickness.
