Golden Leaf Half Marathon
The Golden Leaf Half Marathon, presented by ACG, is a road race hosted by the Ute Mountaineer and the City of Aspen. The event follows the Government Trail from Fanny Hill in Snowmass, passes through groves of aspen trees, and finishes at Koch Lumber Park in downtown Aspen.
The race occurs in late September each year; the 2026 edition is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026. Registration opens April 28, 2026. Entry options and prices listed for 2026 include an in-store price of $80 and an online price of $105. The event generally sells out quickly.
Additional support for the race is provided by Scratch Labs and Darn Tough Vermont. Local accommodation partners list special rates or discount codes for race participants: Aspen Meadows Resort and Aspen Square offer 2026 discounts with a two night minimum stay required for the listed offers; Aspen Square notes 10% off public rates on certain room types, a 35% deposit at booking, and a 14 day cancellation policy. The Tyrolean Lodge is noted as a local supporter with a two night minimum stay requirement.
