Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon
The 50th Annual Run the Rockies Road races are set in Summit County and follow the paved Summit County Recreation Path through Ten Mile Canyon. The event offers two road race distances:
- 10k (6.2 miles) : course is 100% downhill.
- Half Marathon (13.16 miles) : course is approximately 75% downhill and includes a lollipop loop.
Both distances use a mass start and finish at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street. The course begins near Copper Mountain and follows the recreation path along Ten Mile Creek, passing features such as the Hwy 9 underpass, Frisco Adventure Park, Frisco Nordic Center, and the Water Dance neighborhood. The half marathon includes a short out-and-back turnaround, a new pedestrian tunnel near the Frisco Bike Park, and a 0.15 mile singletrack connector near the County Commons.
All runners are expected to drive to Copper Mountain Far East Parking Lot for the start. Peak One Express provides shuttle service to return runners to their cars after the race. Early bib pick-up is recommended and is available at Frisco Town Hall; no packet pick-up is offered at the Far East Lot. Drop bags may be left at the race starts and will be delivered to the gazebo at Frisco Historic Park; runners must provide and clearly label their own bags.
Aid stations are stocked with Skratch Labs hydration mix, water, Rice Krispies Treats, granola bars, and Welch’s gummies. Professional timing, finisher gifts for all finishers, age category and overall awards, postrace food, and beer for racers 21 plus are provided as part of registration.
