Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon
The 51st annual Run the Rockies Road event offers two paved-path races that start near Copper Mountain and finish on Frisco Main Street at Frisco Historic Park. Runners follow the Summit County recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon and along Ten Mile Creek, a route noted for fall foliage and varied mountain terrain.
Distances
- 10k (6.2 miles) 100% downhill along the recreation path.
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles) approximately 75% downhill with a lollipop loop.
The half marathon route uses the recreation path behind CommonSpirit St. Anthony Summit Hospital, passes the Frisco Adventure Park and Frisco Nordic Center, and includes a pedestrian tunnel under Highway 9 near the Frisco Bike Park. A new 0.15 mile section of soft surface singletrack reconnects runners to the path near the County Commons. Race finishes involve two-way runner traffic on the approach to Frisco Historic Park.
Aid stations are provided on both courses and include Skratch Labs hydration mix supplied by Peak Running, water, and simple snacks. Runners may leave marked drop bags at the starts for transfer to the finish gazebo; drop bags are not provided by organizers. Parking is centered at Copper Mountain Far East Lot with shuttle service returning runners to vehicles after the race.
Online registration opens March 20, 2026. Both distances include professional timing and finisher items. Both races have a hard finish cutoff; racers not finished by the cutoff will not receive an official time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
