Half Marathon: Water Stops:

There will be 7 water stations. The first has only water. All the rest will have water and Gatorade. Located approximately 2, 4, 5.75 , 7.5, 8.25, 9.75 and 11.5 miles (odd distances but we have to put water stops where we can drive a car). 

Weather:                                                                       

This is an event for runners (or runners who walk some) and can complete the distance in 4 hours or less  - the race will end at 12:30 pm.  This is to help insure the safety of our volunteers in case of harsh weather. Pueblo is located in the "banana belt" of Colorado.  When it is snowing all around we tend to remain dry, which is great for runners but bad for lawns. Come prepared for snow and wind then be pleasantly surprised by the great weather we have in December in Pueblo. However, having a run in December is a gamble, we have never canceled in 36 years and we intend to run this race regardless of the weather.
