The Mancos Cowboy Half Marathon and 5K is a fundraising event for the Mancos Public Library.  We raise funds through our race sponsorship program as well as through participant donations.  Every participant has the oppertunity to create a fundraiser for our race that they can share out to their family and friends.  Participants are able to share their fundraising campain directly through Facebook.  Participant fundraisers that meet or exceed $500 will be refunded their entry fee!

The Mancos Cowboy Half and 5K also has a referral program.  At the completion of registration participants are given a referral link.  Share that link out to your friends and have them join you for the race!  Every 5 people you refer to our race with your link earns you a $20 refund on your entry fee!
