All runners are HIGHLY encouraged to read the FAQ page. It has important information you will need to know, especially as it relates to a number of our policies. Also, there is valuable information on the "Of Possible Interest" page that relates to marathon training in general and running at altitude specifically. Also, there is a link to a YouTube preview video at the bottom of the "Stuff to Know" page.

The race will be held at the Nature Center at Barr Lake State Park in Brighton Colorado.  The park entrance fee is $10 unless you have a Colorado State Park Pass.  Proceeds will benefit Inspiration Field.  Inspiration Field works with the developmentally disabled in Otero County (La Junta, Colorado) and surrounding area.

THE EXACT RACE COURSE IS PENDING AUTHORIZATION, but the plan is to hold it on a 1.31-mile course. The half marathon is 10 laps, the marathon is 20 laps, and the 50k is 24 laps. You're guaranteed a restroom and an aid station every 1.31 miles!

Prizes will be awarded to the overall top three male and female in each distance (no duplicates)

A race specific wicking beanie as well as a custom "scissors shaped" medal will be given to all finishers with the runners' names on the ribbon.  You must register before 3/21/25 to be guaranteed a medal and to have your name included on the ribbon.

A custom 16 oz. pub-style glass will be given to all registered participants.  

A random drawing for bonus swag will be held on race day.  Check for your bib number at the awards table when you finish.

Packet pick-up will be at Something Brewery, 117 N. Main St., Brighton, CO (on the back patio if the weather is nice, in the back room if it is not) from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm the night before the race.  Race day packet pick up will only include the bib and pint glass and may not include the swag bag.
