Run The Rockies Trail Race

Run the Rockies Trail 5k, 10k, & Half Marathon

The Run the Rockies Trail races are held on the Frisco Peninsula trails and feature views of Dillon Reservoir and the Ten Mile Range. Races use single track and dirt road trails and start and finish at the Frisco Nordic Center. All three race distances finish along the lakeshore of Dillon Reservoir.

Course markings include pink flagging and directional arrows; course marshals are positioned at key junctions and aid stations. The event is chip-timed by a professional timing service. The 10k and half marathon have a 10:30am cut-off time for official finish times. Walkers are encouraged to use the 5k; walkers may participate in the 10k but should note the cut-off time.

Aid station details:

• 5K
• 10K (aid at miles 1.4 and 3.9)
