Run the Rockies Road 10k & Half Marathon, Frisco
The Run the Rockies Road event is an annual road race held on paved recreation paths between Copper Mountain and Frisco. The 50th edition follows the traditional course through Ten Mile Canyon and highlights fall foliage and mountain views in the Frisco area.
Runners follow the Summit County recreation path and related local trails. The event offers two distances:
- 10k (6.2 miles) - 100% downhill on the paved recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon.
- Half Marathon (13.16 miles) - approximately 75% downhill with two lollipop loops on the rec path and nearby trails.
Both races use mass starts and have a firm finish cut-off. The course features marked routes, stocked aid stations, professional timing, and post-race food and beer for participants 21 and older. Aid station placement: one station on the 10k and four on the half marathon, with specific mile locations listed by the organizer. Drop bags can be left at the starts and will be returned to Frisco Historic Park gazebo; participants must provide and label their own bags.
Logistics include bib packet pick-up at Frisco Town Hall, return shuttles to the parking area after finishing, and on-course etiquette guidance because the races use public recreation paths. Awards are given to overall top three male and female finishers and to first place winners in multiple age categories. Runners are responsible for their own safety on mountain terrain and variable weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
