It seems that the dates of my Colorado trip will preclude me entering
the Grand Traverse (Crested Butte to Aspen). Scouting around, it looks

Trail Half Marathon, or the Leadville 10k, all of which are on August
10th. Or, I could just lace up my shoes, park the rental car, run the
Barr Trail up Pikes Peak, and hitch-hike back down.
