2009 ROUTE .TPO AND .GPX FILES
Specific files that help teams navigate through the race are available on this page. .tpo files (specific to National Geographic Mapping software, called TOPO!). They contain waypoints (coordinates), routes and notes about the race. Users of TOPO! can view profiles of elevation gain and loss for their legs, view video style flyovers of the route and download the information directly to their GPS units either for the entire team or for individual legs.

 National Geographic Maps has sponsored the Maps and Details section of the website and has provided a discount code to purchase TOPO! through their website. The use of TOPO! will help you better understand the route through understanding elevation changes, altitude and variations of the route. Code TBD on the National Geographic Maps Store when you purchase your copy of TOPO! for Colorado.
