I think it's because they couldn't get any good teams to go race them anymore. In the past, local powerhouses such as the South Dakota School of Mines, Johnson & Wales, and DeVry University would send their A-squads. More recently those schools haven't even sent full JV contingents. CU has no fewer than 17 guys each year who can run 24:45 or faster on that course as long as it's been groomed properly. There's really no point.
It would be nice if they still had that time trial open to the public four weeks earlier, though.
Why would anyone want to attend the race? Adams State once won the team title and Wetmore cancelled the awards ceremony. Sums it up really...
