High Voltage Hustle Race FAQ

The first annual race will be Saturday, May 17, 2025 at the Electric Hills Trail System just outside of Montrose, CO. It’s located off CO-90, about 15 minutes west of Town.
Where does the race start and finish?
At the main Electric Hills Trailhead — this is where you’ll check in, start and finish the race, and hang out afterward.
-
Yes — but only from 8:00–8:30 AM and only if we haven’t hit our 200-rider cap. We strongly encourage registering in advance — internet is limited at the trailhead!
-
There will be two aid stations:
An emergency aid station with water, electrolytes, and medical help will be on the eastern side of the course.
A primary aid station will be at the start/finish, which riders will pass through multiple times.
We strongly recommend carrying enough water for your needs. It can be hot and dry in late May.
-
Expect a mix of chunky desert singletrack, smooth and flowy singletrack, and fast doubletrack sections for passing. It’s classic high desert riding with just the right balance of tech, speed, and fun.
-
There are tons of lodging options in Montrose just 15 minutes from the trailhead — check out Visit Montrose for hotel listings.
There’s plenty of dispersed camping on surrounding BLM land. Even better — head further west up gravel Highway 90 for great dispersed campsites on Forest Service land.
Camping is not allowed at the Electric Hills Trailhead or within the trail system day use area. Thank you for your cooperation.

Absolutely! Volunteers are a huge part of making this race happen. When you register, just select the “Volunteer” option to let us know you’re in — we’ll follow up with roles, timing, and details.
