REGISTRATION FOR BINGO! NOW OPEN!
Join us on Saturday, November 19th for the newest trail running concept at The Human Potential Running Series. We introduce to you, BINGO!
This event is an HPRS “Trail Party,” designed to promote community and provide runners of all abilities an opportunity to enjoy trail and ultra running in a fun, stress free, environment.
The Bingo! Trail Runs is a one-of-a-kind event, where each runner continues to run loops until they obtain a Bingo on their bib. A bingo is obtained by runners pulling bingo balls from a bag after completion of each loop run. Should the number they pull be present on their bib, the runner will blot the number, run another loop, then pull another ball. If the number is not on their bib, the runner marks nothing, runs another lap, then pulls another ball. This continues up to 10:00pm, and the runner’s result is the number of miles they ran on their way to a bingo. Runners who drop from the event prior to obtaining a bingo, will not be listed as an official finisher.
The course features single and double track trails, and farm roads with ZERO Pavement on a working farm in Byers, CO. The course is mostly exposed with scattered areas of cottonwood trees. The course is mostly flat with negligible elevation gain/loss. There will be one aid station at the main control point for the event, which each runner will access before/after each loop.
Registration opened at $50 for all tiers. Next price increase in July 1st when it will rise to $70 for all tiers. We're hosting a HUGE campout for those that want to spend the night!

The first trail work day of the season is scheduled for Saturday, May 21, 2022
We'll be doing work in La Veta on the Dike Trail in conjunction with The United States Forest Service San Carlos Ranger District. We'll be pruning back overgrowth and hand digging single track.
Join us in La Veta (Southern CO near Walsenburg) to satisfy those volunteer requirements, or simply to give back to the trails that are a privilege to use and not a right!

NOT EVERYONE USES SOCIAL MEDIA; WOULD YOU FIND A MESSAGE BOARD ON OUR WEBSITE USEFUL?
|
|
Useful for some folks, but I wouldn't use it
|
|
|
|
|
I would love a message board off of social media to connect with other runners
|
|
|
|
|
I don't use social media, and wouldn't use a message board either
|
|
|
|
|
Only if I could remain anonymous when posting

|
|
|
Only if no one was an anonymous poster, transparency is necessary
