Voted Best Half Marathon in Mountain West Region!
Run on the Autumnal Equinox during the height of fall color!
Fast and beautiful, this is a great half marathon for a new PR!
Excellent opportunity for local runners to run a race entirely in the Poudre Canyon and an all natural scenic venue for visitors to enjoy the beauty and downhill course along Colorado’s only wild and scenic river.
The all downhill 5 mile race is perfect for anyone wanting to increase race distance from a 5k or just enjoy a beautiful run in the canyon.
Both races are point-to-point downhill courses through the canyon consisting entirely of asphalt road (except for a very short section on dirt at the start of the 5-mile race).
Both the Half Marathon & 5-Mile races are point-to-point courses through the Poudre River Canyon. Due to lack of parking at both the start & finish areas & our effort to reduce impact participants must ride an event provided bus to the start of either race.
