Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon
The 52nd Annual Run the Rockies Road race takes place in Summit County, featuring courses that utilize the paved recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon. The event connects Copper Mountain to Frisco, showcasing the area's autumn foliage and mountain landscapes.
Participants can choose from two distances:
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
The 10 km course is 100% downhill, starting near the Copper Mountain Conoco and following the recreation path along Ten Mile Creek to the finish at Frisco Historic Park. The Half Marathon course is 75% downhill and follows a "lollipop" loop. It includes sections behind CommonSpirit St. Anthony Summit Hospital, through the Frisco Adventure Park, and past the Frisco Nordic Center. A short 0.15 mile segment of soft surface dirt singletrack is included in the half marathon route.
The event provides professional timing, and both distances have a designated cut-off time of 11:30 am. Aid stations are positioned along the routes, offering hydration mix, water, and snacks. Participants are encouraged to bring their own collapsible cups for hydration. A shuttle service is available to transport runners from the finish line back to the parking area at Copper Mountain. Post-race activities at Frisco Historic Park include food and refreshments for participants.
Registration fees cover a commemorative gift, a finisher item, and access to the post-race party. Bib and packet pick-up is held at Frisco Town Hall. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
