Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon
The 50th Annual Run the Rockies Road features road races on the paved Summit County recreation path between Copper Mountain and Frisco Historic Park on Main Street. The courses follow Ten Mile Canyon and Ten Mile Creek and are noted for fall foliage and mountain views.
Course details include a largely downhill profile: the 10k course is 100% downhill and the half marathon is about 75% downhill. Both distances use a mass start. Runners can leave drop bags at the starts; bags will be transported to the Frisco Historic Park gazebo for pick up. Drop bags are not provided.
Event services include professional timing, aid stations stocked with hydration mix and snacks, well-marked courses, and post-race food and beer for those 21 and over. Aid stations are located at mile 2.5 on the 10k and at miles 2.5, 7.2, 9.5 and 11.5 on the half marathon. Town staff provide shuttles to return runners to the Far East Lot after the race.
Additional notes for participants: early bib pick-up is recommended and will be available at Frisco Town Hall on Friday and Saturday before the race. Racers should be prepared for chilly mountain mornings, possible hazardous weather or wildlife, and must follow trail courtesy rules such as leaving strollers and pets at home and not running more than two abreast.
