TRAIL RUNNING/HIKING The run course will follow the Little Horse Mesa Loop Trail in Sugarite Canyon State Park and consists primarily of single-track trails with some dual-track trail and pavement/road. Approximate Distance: 6 miles/10km (PDF Hiking/Trail Run Route Map) PADDLING In a self propelled (paddled by hand, i.e. kayak/canoe) water craft furnished by the participant(s) a course will be paddled on Lake Maloya. Participants will depart from the south boat ramp and follow the numbered buoys. Each buoy must be rounded by the watercraft, with the watercraft going around the buoys so that the watercraft is between the buoys and the shore. Approximate Distance: 3 miles BIKING Participant will provide his/her own non-motorized bicycle. We have returned the bike route to a set course. Participants will start the bike portion at the south boat ramp of Lake Maloya in Sugarite Canyon State Park and ride to the Check Point on at mile marker 12 on Highway 72 just before turning back and finishing the bike route at the south boat ramp. The route leaves the north end of the transition area proceeds across the spillway of Lake Maloya and down through Sugarite Canyon State Park where it turns east (left) onto Hwy 72. The biker will bike east on State Highway 72 to the mile marker 12 check point. After checking in at the check point and going around the check point cone the biker then follows the bike route back to the South Boat Ramp of Lake Maloya and the Starting Transition area. (Google map with approximate markers for the start/end of the bike segment) Approximate distance: 25 miles SHOOTING The day of the race should not be the first time you use a gun. Please train and familiarize yourself with the gun you are using far in advance of the race. This is a safety issue for yourself, our range masters, and other competitors. At the range master's discretion, anyone deemed unsafe will be disqualified. Location for 2018 is the Raton Trap Club located adjacent to the Raton Municipal Airport. This year the shoot will be held at the Raton Trap club located off of Hwy 64 adjacent to the Raton Municipal Airport (Crews Field). This is where the biking portion of the event will end. The folks with Rocky Mountain 3 Gun are working out exactly what the shoot will look like and how it will be scored, but it will not be like it has been in years past. Final information on the shoot will be provided at the Mandatory Pre-race meeting next Friday. See Race Maps for approximate set up. Only 12 and 20 gauge shotguns are permitted to be used on the course. To speed things up we run two courses. The courses will be identical. Depending on your arrival at the finish area you will be assigned either course A or course B. The course assignments will be final. Please do not ask to trade your shooting course. The shooting portion will be comprised of different shooting stations where a competitor will engage steel and clay targets. The competitors will move through each station engaging each target as they go. Targets at each station may include thrown clays, stationary clays, and metal targets. In compliance with conventional shooting competitions rules, ammunition will NOT be provided. Each participant will need to provide their own ammunition and a means to carry it on the course (carrying ammunition in the cargo pockets, etc. of clothing is allowed). Competitors will need 40-50 rounds and will be required to carry it all personally. Ammo must be bird shot target loads of 1300 feet/second or less. You will have a time limit to complete the course. Penalties TBA. The shooter's briefing will take place at the pre-race meeting. All participants and team shooters must be present for the briefing. There will be no briefing the day of the race or at the start line. A shooter will be expected to present themselves at the starting line of the shooting component ready to shoot. There will not be an opportunity to walk the course before you run it. Participants transitioning from the bike to the shooting area will have 15min from finishing the biking portion before they must check in at the shooting staging area (this does not necessarily mean they will have to shoot at that time but they must check in). Failure to report with the 15 min will result in a time penalty assessed during the shooting portion of the event. With the exception of team shooters, Shooters will shoot in the order they finish the biking portion. Shooters in 4 person teams and teams where the shooter isn't doing another component of the event are to report to the shooting range at 8am on race day.
