Run the Rockies Road 11k & Half Marathon - Frisco, Colorado
The Run the Rockies Road event marks its 50th edition with two distance options on the paved Summit County recreation path between Copper Mountain and Frisco. Runners follow the path through Ten Mile Canyon and along Ten Mile Creek, a route noted for fall foliage and varied mountain landscape.
Distances:
- 11k (6.8 miles) - 100% downhill
- Half Marathon (13.16 miles) - approximately 75% downhill
Both races use a mass start and have a hard stop for finishing. The course finishes at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street. Parking for starters is available at Copper Mountain Far East Parking Lot; runners typically walk from that lot up to the recreation path start. Peak One Express provides shuttles to return runners to their cars after the finish.
Event services include professional timing, marked course, multiple aid stations stocked with Skratch Labs hydration mix, water, Rice Krispies Treats, granola bars and Welch’s gummies, post-race food, and a finisher item. Drop bags can be left at the starts and will be transported to the Frisco Historic Park gazebo; drop bags are not provided and should be clearly labeled.
The event takes place on public recreation paths; participants are asked to leave strollers and pets at home, limit running abreast to two people, and keep one earbud out if wearing headphones. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
