A six-hour loop race where the goal is simple: turn laps on an 8-ish-mile course for as long as your legs — and your will — hold out. Zia Rides pitches this as an on-ramp, not a gauntlet: beginner-friendly, junior-friendly, and a solid first taste of what their race series is all about. That said, six hours is six hours, so there's plenty of challenge here for anyone who wants to find it.
The course threads Route 66 and the Green Belt trails up near Glorieta — piñon, ponderosa, and high-desert terrain that rolls and twists in ways that'll have you reading it differently by lap three than you did on lap one.
