Online registration for the 2026 races opens on March 20, 2026. Registration options include choices with or without a commemorative gift and different pricing for adults and youth. Registration fees include a commemorative gift, a finisher item, a well-marked course, stocked aid stations, professional timing, post-race food, and post-race beer for participants aged 21 and over. Awards are given to overall top three male and female finishers and to first-place finishers in multiple age categories.

Course and logistics

Both races start near Copper Mountain and finish at Frisco Historic Park on Main Street, following the paved Summit County recreation path through Ten Mile Canyon. The 10k course is entirely downhill; the half marathon is largely downhill with a lollipop loop that returns to Frisco via the recreation path, Frisco Adventure Park, and a pedestrian tunnel under Hwy 9. The half marathon includes a new 0.15 mile dirt singletrack connector. Runners park at Copper Mountain Far East Lot and walk 0.4-0.5 miles to the starts. Aid stations use Skratch Labs hydration mix and provide water and snacks; the 10k has one aid station and the half has four. Drop bags can be left at the starts and will be moved to the Frisco Historic Park gazebo for pickup. Participants should be prepared for mountain terrain, variable weather, and possible wildlife.
