Run the Rockies Road 11k & Half Marathon
This event is the 52nd annual Run the Rockies Road race using the Summit County Recreation Path from Copper Mountain to Frisco. The course follows the paved rec path through Ten Mile Canyon and finishes at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street, passing varied landscape and fall foliage.
Two distances are offered:
- 11k (6.8 miles), 100% downhill
- Half marathon (13.16 miles), approximately 75% downhill
Both races use a mass start and run on public recreation paths that remain open to other users; participants are asked to respect trail etiquette. Aid stations on course provide Skratch Labs hydration mix, water, Rice Krispies Treats, granola bars, and Welch’s gummies. Runners may leave labeled drop bags at the race starts; bags are transported to the Frisco Historic Park gazebo for pick up. A shuttle service returns racers to the Copper Mountain Far East Parking Lot after they finish.
Logistics noted for participants include bib and packet pick-up at Frisco Town Hall, professional timing services, well-marked courses, stocked aid stations, post-race food, and post-race beer for those 21 and older. The half marathon route includes a lollipop loop, a short 0.15 mile section of soft singletrack, and sections of two-way runner traffic near the finish.
