About the Samson's Revenge
Samson was THE celebrity elk of the Rockies until he was illegally poached in 1995 at the YMCA. Our race runs on Samson's home turf, The YMCA of the Rockies, which his descendants still call home. The course is fast single track with a big summit slapped in the middle. This is Samson’s Revenge.
