Lake City Alpine 50 Mountain Bike Race

The Highest Elevation One-Day Mountain Bike Race in the United States. The course hits 12,940 feet of alpine goodness.

The Lake City Alpine 50 is an epic, 50-mile, alpine endurance bike race with 6,000+ feet of climbing.

The course heads out from downtown Lake City, Colorado onto Highway 149 towards Lake San Cristobal. Lake City’s namesake was formed by a rare natural earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide, which blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, creating the second-largest natural lake in Colorado and one of the most beautiful lakes in the entire state of Colorado.
