Organiser's Description
Aptly named for the rugged men who explored this area starting in the 1860s, the Prosepctor is a brand new race for 2023! The views are as good as the gold they were looking for. If you can pull your eyes away from the surrounding mountain views, youll run by big and small reminders of the mining activity including homesteads, mine equipment, and endless spur roads.
The Prospector 50k/30k races operate under a Special Use Permit from the Gardiner Ranger Distrcit.
