Spectators are encouraged to come out for any of the stages, but Saturday will be a highlight as it will be held in conjunction with the APEX Outdoor Festival & Expo at America the Beautiful Park in downtown Colorado Springs. Keep a close eye on last year’s surprising 8th place and RockShox employee Deanna Mayles as she makes a run for a podium spot.

She will have her hands full with Argentinian Olympian Sofia Gomez-Villafane from the Clif Pro Team on the start line. The women’s start list includes last year’s second overall winner and Juliana-SRAM rider Evelyn Dong. Also, returning second and third place overall winners from last year, Robbie Day and Ryan Standish are sure to bring some serious competition. Keegan Swenson, hot off wins at the Leadville 100 and the Breck Epic will surely figure into the race for the top step, but don’t count out two-time Olympian Todd Wells and U23 standout Amos Riley, both from Durango, to get in the mix. EF Education-NIPPO is sending two of their pro riders, endurance legend Lachlan Morton and SBT GRVL winner Alex Howes who will definitely give Russell a run for his money. The men’s field includes reigning APEX Champion and Marathon MTB National Champ Russell Finsterwald from the Clif Pro Team. $25,000 is up for grabs, split evenly between the men and women’s top finishers.
