FKT: Mercedes Siegle-Gaither - Marble Mountain - Sangre De Cristo Range (CO) - 2023-10-08

I started at the Grape Creek Trailhead alone and headed up Music Pass Road to Music Pass Trail, which shortly after dips off trail for a few miles til you hit the summit of Marble Mountain.  Once you’re off trail you cut through a Bristlecone forest for a short steep climb, and then you’re running through grass and boulders towards the peak. There were a few tiny snow patches. I had one 500mL flask with water and ended up melting snow to drink. Only 380 calories in gels. Ran in the Merrell Skyfire 2.
