THE PEOPLE

Caleb Efta & Kelsey Banaszynski, founders

It started with Caleb’s vision for creating a race that would test the heartiest of runners in the awe inspiring Sawatch mountains. It took only 36 hours of constant rain, cold and sleep deprivation (High Lonesome year 1) for Kelsey to be sold on the community and endeavor Caleb had embarked on. While they had only been dating a few months, she convinced (wore down) Caleb to let her join on as ops director… and they’ve been building races together ever since!

Partners in life, adventure and business - we love creating experiences that we drool over ourselves. Besides building quality race courses, our priority is to create events that are inclusive and attainable for all.

THE DREAM TEAM

We are a volunteer based organization, including our leadership positions, meaning everyone is taking part because they are passionate about running and helping you meet your goals.
