Runners in the The MeadowGold races Saturday on Meadow Mountain encountered two aid stations hosted by special guests to the series, llamas. The llamas were used to transport supplies up to the aid stations.

This year the Vail Recreation District substituted the MeadowGold for the EverGold to close out the annual race series.

The trail running competition on Meadow Mountain on Saturday, Sept. 16, wasn’t simply unique because it was the first time a recreation district running race has taken place there, it also required the aid of some four-legged friends.

“Because we could not use vehicles to support this race, Paragon Guides provided llamas to get supplies to aid stations,” said Beth Pappas with the Vail Recreation District.



While there will still be more fall races to join, the MeadowGold was the final race in the Vail Recreation District’s 2017 La Sportiva Vail Trail Running Series. The race was presented by Haute Route Gear & Apparel and the town of Minturn.
