The Wild West Relay is a 200-mile team running relay race held annually in August following a rural course in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming between Fort Collins and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. First organized by Timberline Events LLC in 2004, the event is now capped at 100 teams (of either 12 or 6 runners). The remote and scenic course begins on the plains north of Fort Collins. From there, the course winds north through Red Feather Lakes to Woods Landing, Wyoming, then south through Routt and Roosevelt National Forests, through Walden, Colorado, over the Continental Divide at Rabbit Ears Pass, and finishes in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or west:
“Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
