Each lap is an opportunity to encounter Earthshine Lodge’s resident llamas, creating memorable moments that blend nature with unexpected animal encounters. A well-stocked aid station ensures runners are fueled throughout their journey, while a relaxed 'no drama' ethos fosters a welcoming and supportive environment for all competitors. As the day progresses, participants can look forward to stunning mountain vistas framed by ever-changing light conditions. Upon crossing the finish line, every runner is rewarded with an exclusive handmade pottery medal and a custom race beanie. For those looking to extend their stay in this picturesque setting, limited on-site lodging options are available for a full weekend of adventure and relaxation. Join fellow trail runners at the Llama Experience Ultra for a day filled with challenging runs, breathtaking scenery, and delightful llama interactions.
