We’re tentatively planning to run the Gulches. I will update the first post with more information. Thanks.So where are you guys gonna run? Too bad my timeline(7/21-8/1) for my visit back to CO this summer doesnt line up better. Would have loved to try to join/waitlist.
I think that if the people on the waitlist would like to get together and run a different trail, then that would be cool. It would be a trail run, but unaffiliated with the 80s only run. The reason we have a limit on the number of rigs is because trails can easily become too crowded and it can cause lots of problems, both for us and for others using the trail.If there's a large enough wait list, will a second group be considered?
Could you do staggered start times? Space them out enough so they don’t catch up to one another, this is something I’ve implemented at Cruise Moab and it’s worked out quite well to accommodate larger groups.We’re tentatively planning to run the Gulches.

I’ve never run the glitches so I’m not familiar with them, but if it’s like poison spider/golden spike and gold bar rim that can get tricky but still doable depending on the groups. Not always the best idea.The idea with running the gulches would offer 3 close proximity trails that would could split our main group into 2 or 3 smaller groups and also offer some variable difficulty. The gulches are seeing a lot of trail traffic lately so keeping our group to a modest size on each trail might be the most manageable and responsible option for us.
The gulches are all out and back trails with tight spots. The big problem I see with staggering group start times for these trails. We will still all catch up and become one large group.I’ve never run the glitches so I’m not familiar with them, but if it’s like poison spider/golden spike and gold bar rim that can get tricky but still doable depending on the groups.

Ya it can get tricky to do…. I was mainly looking at trying to limit the number of disappointed folks….The gulches are all out and back trails with tight spots. The big problem I see with staggering group start times for these trails. We will still all catch up and become one large group.
