General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: The XTERRA Aspen Valley Triathlon features a 1200meter swim, a 12 mile mountain bike, and a 3.1m Trail Run. The entire event is located on private propert in El Jebel, Colorado (just outside Aspen) and is a beginner to intermediate XTERRA!
More: The XTERRA Aspen Valley is Colorado's newest off-road triathlon! After years of searching for the perfect mountain venue a private property owner, with a passion for water skiing and mountain biking, has created a one-of-kind venue. The swim starts out on a single lap 1200m swim in the crystal clear waters of Kodiak Ski Lake.
Once out of the water athletes will transition to their mountain bikes for the most iconic part of this event. The ride is a two-lap course (12 miles) that takes riders on flowing single-track and over wood features never before seen in an XTERRA event. The pictures on the course maps page only offer a mild snapshot on the one-of-a-kind experience this course offers. Overall the course is labelled as intermediate; far easier than XTERRA Curt Gowdy, but more technical than XTERRA Lory.
The 5k run course starts out by taking triathletes on one of the most unique features on the property; a 3/4 mile long winding wood bridge over a pond. This run will fly by as you run through wild flower cooridors and over a canal before hitting the finish line! And the kicker - riders will only get to experience this course two times per year, once on Friday for preview and then on RACE DAY!
Directions: PLEASE NOTE: This is private property. Out of respect for the property owner NO pre-riding or course scouting will be allowed. We will allow pre-riding on Friday 7/25 with the course fully marked. Please note that ANY slight violation of this policy will be considered tresspassing and result in a ban from all Without Limits XTERRA events. Furthermore, do not contact the lake to seek access.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
