The Vapor Trail 125 IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!

To be brutally honest, the Vapor Trail 125 is unique and really hard. You've never done a MTB event like the Vapor Trail 125 before. You will be riding technical singletrack at extreme elevations, much of which will be in the dark of the night. You will encounter temperatures from sub-freezing to 80ºF, gnarly sections of trail and you will be deep in the Colorado backcountry. You MUST BE self-sufficient and be able to have the ability to get back to town if you decide to drop out from the event. If you have any doubts about whether you can complete this event, this event probably isn't for you. The Vapor Trail 125 is difficult for the most seasoned mountain bikers and veteran racers. We are not going to sugar coat it - make sure you aren't biting off more than you can chew.

The Vapor Trail 125 course throws it back to old school backcountry mountain biking - long before the days before machine built trail, before flow trails, before fast sanitized singletrack. The course is raw and rugged. If you like technical singletrack, epic backcountry adventure, and big mountain riding - this event 100% has your name on it. There is just enough dirt or jeep road on course to let you collect yourself for the next challenge ahead. Our course is tough, but not impossible. We have roughly a 70% finishing rate each year. We want you to finish - but we also want to challenge you like you've never been challenged before at a mountain bike event.
