has ever seen, the 50-mile Run Rabbit Run ultramarathon has reached new levels with the race officially being sold out this week, and the race being added to the Montrail Ultra Cup race series. The Run Rabbit Run is set for September 18, 2010!The Montrail Ultra Cup runs from one summer to the next. The 2009-10 season included 11 races in all corners of the United States. It wrapped up in June with the Western States 100 in Squaw Valley, Calif. Steamboat’s race will come early in the 2010-11 season and will award four spots — two male and two female — to next summer’s Western States 100, the series’ premier event.
This partnership with Montrail will ensure that Run Rabbit Run will attract some of the country’s top ultramarathon runners. And with the news, the race hit its 150-racer cap.
The race, which starts and finishes at the base of Steamboat Ski Area, includes nearly 9,000 vertical feet of climbing as it pushes toward its turnaround point on Rabbit Ears Pass.

“It’s probably one of the most beautiful courses in America,” he said. “I’d like to think people like how well organized it is and how much fun it is. In the ultra community, a lot of it is word of mouth, and I hear people talking about our race.
