2008 Aid Station Challenge Results
Congratulations to Widefield at No Name Creek who was the $2,250 Challenge winner this year. They dressed up as waiters and served us well.

2nd place and $1,500 went to Palmer at Barr Camp.
Manitou at Bobs Road and Cheyenne Mtn at the start/finish tied for 3rd (a first in 9 years) so split the combined $1,000/$750 to get $875 each.
5th place and $500 went to Coronado at the Incline.

High School Aid Station Challenge
This is one of the most popular aspects of the Barr Trail Mountain Race. All the aid stations on the course are staffed by high school cross country and track teams.

At the finish line runners vote for their favorite aid station with the winning school getting the most money for their school’s running program and an automatic spot in the following year’s challenge. Second through 5th will be awarded cash for their programs as well. In all $6,000 is awarded to the five schools!


“In 30 years of running and racing I’ve never seen a race able
to make these kinds of contributions to the local running
community. In this case — future running community.”

Coach Gary Weston and the Liberty H.S. Cross Country Teams

With more than 80 gallons of water at each station, and several stations also stocking up to 30 gallons of Gatorade, we want to thank Gatorade for providing us with a ton of coolers and the drinks to go in them!
