Event Description

Americas Latino Eco Festival XIII has teamed up with Colorado's Human Potential Running Series to offer this unique Latino Ultra Nature Experience. Join us on Sunday, October 22, 2023 and round out your Eco Festival experience with a unique adventure in the mountains of Boulder, CO.

The experience features distances of 10km, a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), and 55km (34 miles). On your journey you'll explore a variety of ecological areas in the mountains above Boulder. We'll explore the intersection between urban development and population growth with its lasting affects on the surround landscape and ecosystems. We'll share stunning views of Colorado's Continental Divide and discuss how Colorado gets its water and where the water ultimately goes. We'll talk about reservoirs and the west's ever present need to expand them, and the long lasting effects reservoir expansion has on the surrounding ecosystems. We'll explore wild fire and how climate change and policy has ultimately affected our forests.
