START, FINISH & EXPO
5254 N Meadows Dr, Castle Rock, CO 80109
(Castle View HIGH School)
PARKING
There is plenty of parking at the High School and the next-door middle school.
COURSE SURFACE
The course is primarily on East Plum Creek Trail and is 100% concrete.
DOGS, STROLLERS, ETC
Yes, your well-behaved, leashed dog is welcome here! Yes, your well-behaved child in a stroller is welcome here. Although, you may NOT ride on your stroller on the downhill portions. It will be tempting, as those hills never disappoint those looking for a challenge. This course is suitable for all types of strollers.
SUPPORT
5k: There are two opportunities for water on the 5k course at miles .75 and 1.25.
10k: The 10k will have four water stops at miles .75, 2, 4 and 5.25.
13.1: The Half Marathon will see a water station 8 times at approximately miles .75, 2, 4, 5.5, 6.5, 9, 11 and 12.25 with water and an electrolyte drink, at all of them. Energy gels will be at the southernmost water station at miles 5.5 and 6.5.
Port-a-Johns will be at the Expo (start/finish) and at approximately miles 5.5 and 6.4 on the half marathon course.
CUPS - yes, there are cups at the aid stations but we are a cup-free finish line!
All distances are OUT and BACK, which means runners need to stay to the right to avoid oncoming racers.
Half Marathon Course Cutoff
The Half Marathon finish line closes at 9:40 AM, which is 3 hours 10 minutes after the regular 6:30 AM start.
Half Marathon participants who reach the aid station at approximately mile 5.5 after 7:50 AM may be directed to turn around at that location and return to the finish rather than continuing to the full Half Marathon turnaround.
This early turnaround is used so participants can return to the finish area on their own before the course closes. Runners who are turned around early will not receive an official Half Marathon finish result.
Participants who expect to need more than 3 hours 10 minutes to complete the Half Marathon should use the 5:30 AM early start and follow the early-start instructions listed on the Race Day Schedule page.
