Troutman Team Challenge is akin to a Flyathlon competition on steroids (except that due to obscure provisions within The Wilderness Act of 1964, and the fact that much of Colorado’s best fishing falls within wilderness, it cannot be a competition, but instead must be a “challenge”). In order to become a Troutman, you must complete the following:
1) Run at least a trail marathon (26.2 miles or more)…
2) …with an elevation gain of more than 3,000 vertical feet…
3) …and catch four trout species…
4) …washing the entire adventure down with a craft beer greater than 12% ABV…
5) …all within 12 hours.
