We say it every year, but where else can you find hundreds of happily bruised and brawny men and women in short shorts every fall? Why, Aspen of course, at the annual Aspen Ruggerfest. Sturdy men and women ruggers descend on Aspen on September 15 and you will find games being played in parks all over town during the weekend. Multiple age divisions, all the way up to 50+, battle it out, and we always come out to cheer for our home team, the Gentlemen of Aspen. This is the event's 49th year - expect the usual feats of speed, agility and endurance. And of course, bruising and beer drinking!
