Race Course
The start/finish will be at Santa Rita Park, overlooking the beautiful Animas River. Bring your entire family, and they can spend time at the playground or watch the rafts navigate the Whitewater Park while you run. Free parking is available; bike or carpool if you can.
10-Mile Course
The race course is on pavement/sidewalk and runs counterclockwise up to Fort Lewis College, along the rim, and back down along the Animas River Trail. You'll have a half-mile to warm up your legs before you start a slow, gradual climb up to the college campus. Bonus: You'll have accomplished the hardest part of the course before you've hit Mile 2. It's all (mostly) downhill from here!
Expect beautiful mountain views as you circle the Fort Lewis College campus along Rim Drive. At Mile 5, you'll run a fast, fun downhill to Florida Ave. After running on the wide Florida Ave. sidewalk for about a mile, you'll merge onto the Animas River Trail. The remaining 2 1/2 miles follow the river to your finish line at Santa Rita Park.
5K Course
Enjoy the beautiful Animas River along this fast, flat 5K out-and back along the River Trail.
