The Wheat Ridge Half Marathon & 5k
The event offers two distances starting and finishing at Prost Brewing Wheat Ridge at Clear Creek Crossing in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The course follows the Clear Creek Trail with an out-and-back segment to the east (about 11.2 miles round trip) and a finishing out-and-back to the west. The final mile descends and the route features a moderate elevation change of roughly 700 ft.
Race support includes aid stations approximately every 2 to 2.5 miles, public toilets along the course and at the start and finish, and a bag check for participants. Carrying a personal water bottle or hydration pack is permitted and refill stations are available. Packet pick-up is offered at Prost Brewing prior to race day and on race morning.
All half marathon entrants receive a short-sleeve unisex tech shirt when registering by June 20, and 5k registrants who register by that date receive a regular unisex T-shirt; shirt availability is not guaranteed after June 20. All participants receive a finisher medal and are eligible for door prizes and event giveaways. The half marathon is chip-timed and open to runners aged 14 and up; the 5k is an untimed fun-run. Dogs, running strollers, and children under 12 are welcome in the 5k with the reminder that the trail carries inherent risks. Post-race festivities at the brewery include live music, food trucks, local vendors, and complimentary Prost Brewing beer for participants aged 21 plus. Parking and overflow street parking are available south of the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
