In September 2024, Lucia will attempt the Grand to Grand Ultra, running from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
6 stages
171 miles
21,000 ft of elevation gain
This notoriously hot and challenging event races through sand dunes and slot canyons, open desert and hidden arroyos, all under the blazing Southwestern sun.
Second only to Marathon des Sables, Grand to Grand is one of the hardest stage races in the world and draws international competition.
Also in September, Katie will run the beautiful and grueling Sawatch Ascent in the Collegiate Peaks of Colorado.

7,000 ft of elevation gain
13,100 ft high point
The Sawatch Ascent starts and finishes at the base of 14,197’ Mount Princeton and climbs 7,000 feet through wildflower meadows into the high alpine with an extremely competitive field.
