Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon
The Run the Rockies Road event is an annual road race between Copper Mountain and Frisco. The 50th running uses the paved Summit County recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon and finishes at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street. The route highlights fall foliage and mountain scenery.
The event offers two distances:
- 10k (6.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.16 miles)
The 10k course is entirely downhill. The half marathon is mostly downhill and follows a lollipop loop that continues along the rec path, passes the Frisco Adventure Park and Frisco Nordic Center, goes through a pedestrian tunnel under Hwy 9, includes a short 0.15 mile soft-surface singletrack section, and returns to finish at Frisco Historic Park. The race uses a mass start for each distance. A shuttle service transports runners back to the start area after finishing.
Race services include professional timing, aid stations stocked with Skratch Labs hydration mix, water, Rice Krispies Treats, granola bars, and Welch’s gummies, bib pickup in Frisco, drop-bag transport from the starts to the finish area, and post-race food and beer for participants of legal drinking age. All finishers receive a finisher gift. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and to first-place finishers in standard age categories.
