Due to its immense popularity and limited field size, runners often spend years in the lottery system before finally earning their spot at the starting line.
For the 2025 edition, we set out to capture the essence and spirit of this iconic race—highlighting inspirational front-runner performances from athletes like Katie Schide and Ludovic Pommeret, the infectious passion of race director Dale Garland, the vibrant energy of local communities like Ouray and Telluride, and the raw grit and determination of every athlete pushing their limits, especially those fighting the final cutoff during the golden hour.
We hope you enjoy this journey into what makes Hardrock truly special!
