Most Helpful Review
Great Race - Great Course - Great Energy
I have been either a participant or have "coached" runners for this run for years now. Every year it's a hit! The course is well-marked. The pre and post food is great. And the beer garden - so awesome!!!
Age brackets
I love this race & what it is there to support. I am really unhappy that they decided this year to do away with age brackets. that was one of the reasons that I first did this race. I am 65 & without age brackets, I really don't have a chance. I hope they bring them back for next year!!!

Great run
Loved the trail, scenery and everything else about this run. Smaller run then most but loved having not to bump elbows with others

Top-notch in all regards
This is an incredibly well run Colorado Event. Also, a course which offers great mountain views and quality mixed surfaces for its Athletes. Highly recommended as one of the best.

My husband and I have still not received our medals. Would love to know if we will get them. Loved the race and the people. Just disappointed we did not get out medals.
