PROFOUND EXPERIENCES, PROPELLED BY FOOT

We believe there’s no better way to find yourself than to push your mind and body to new limits while looking at incredible 14,000ft peaks and alpine meadows.

We’ll create the space, you bring the legs.

FREESTONE TRAIL SCHOLARSHIP

We know trail running isn’t free (though we wish it were!) and that financial barriers are often a major reason why diverse voices and runners don’t make it to the start line

That’s why Freestone Endurance teamed up with Altra Running to create

— Freestone Scholars —

A trail running scholarship built to lift up runners from the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and break down the barriers that can make chasing big goals feel out of reach

This scholarship is for all runners in Colorado—whether you're lacing up for your first trail race or you're a seasoned runner with a few under your belt

15 spots are available for Colorado based athletes in West Line Winder 30K/50K & Sawatch Ascent 50K

2 spots are available for all US based athletes in the High Lonesome 100

In addition to a free race entry (valid for 2026 only), each 30K/50K recipient will receive a $500 stipend, and each High Lonesome recipient will receive a $2,000 stipend to support whatever they need to reach the start line.

All athletes will also receive a pair of Altra trail shoes, monthly coaching support and access to a community Discord. Additionally, 30K/50K runners will have the option to reserve discounted weekend lodging with meals included at Sage Stone Lodge in Twin Lakes, Colorado.

Scholarship recipients will be announced on Feb 6th.
