Run the Rockies Road 11k & Half Marathon
Run the Rockies Road is a road race from Copper Mountain to Frisco along the Summit County Recreation Path. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026.
- 11k (6.8 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.16 miles)
The course follows the paved recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon and along Ten Mile Creek, finishing at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street. The 11k course is entirely downhill; the half marathon is largely downhill but includes a lollipop loop that turns back toward Frisco and several sections through local parks and neighborhoods. The half marathon also includes a short 0.15 mile section of soft surface singletrack.
Both distances use mass starts. Runners drive to Copper Mountain Far East Parking Lot for the start; a shuttle service returns finishers to that parking area after the race. Drop bags may be left at the starts and will be transported to the Frisco Historic Park gazebo for pickup.
Aid stations are present on both courses: the 11k has one aid station and the half marathon has four. Stations offer Skratch Labs hydration mix, water, Rice Krispies Treats, granola bars, and Welch’s gummies. Registration opens online on April 22, 2026. Registration fees include a commemorative gift option, a finisher item, a well-marked course, stocked aid stations, professional timing, post-race food, and post-race beer for participants 21 and older. Volunteers are needed for the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
