NoCo Urban Ultra and Relay

Prepare for an extraordinary journey through Northern Colorado at the NoCo Urban Ultra and Relay, taking place on April 12, 2026, with major events centered in Greeley, CO. This event offers challenging 50-mile and 100-mile distances, available for both solo runners and relay teams, making it an ideal choice for ultrarunning veterans and newcomers alike. You'll traverse the scenic and largely flat Poudre River Trail, a paved or very smooth surface course that guides you through picturesque views and local amenities in Fort Collins, Timnath, Windsor, and Greeley. The 50-mile race is a point-to-point adventure, starting in Bellvue and concluding in Greeley. For those tackling the individual 100-mile distance, the race uniquely blends an in-person 50-mile run on race day with an additional 50 virtual miles to be completed within seven days.

Runners can anticipate a fully supported experience, boasting "first-rate aid stations" strategically placed every 3 to 6 miles, with major stations offering heartier provisions every 15 to 20 miles. These well-stocked stops provide water, electrolyte tea, gels, bars, chews, and even sodas, snacks, and fruits at the larger stations, along with restrooms and dedicated volunteers to keep you moving forward. Typical race day conditions in mid-April include comfortable highs around 62°F and lows near 33°F, with a low 7% chance of precipitation, creating favorable running weather.

The NoCo Urban Ultra and Relay promises an unforgettable running experience, celebrating the recently completed Poudre River Trail. All finishers are invited to a stellar post-race party in Greeley, featuring food, drinks, and recovery amenities like cold plunges and massages to celebrate your monumental accomplishment. Whether you're seeking a personal best or a memorable team challenge, this race offers stunning scenery, excellent support, and a vibrant atmosphere through the heart of Northern Colorado.
