SOLD OUT 

GTIS Half Marathon is back in person for 2021!  

...and we can't wait to see you!

Enjoy a breathtaking view along Clear Creek as you traverse a scenic and gently rolling mountain course that winds down the Clear Creek Valley. Start in Georgetown where the elevation is at 8,500 feet, and gradually run along the frontage road that runs parallel to, but well away from I-70. Arrive in Idaho Springs at an elevation of 7,500 feet at the finish.

While there will be some changes to our traditional event due to COVID, one thing hasn't changed - the beautiful Colorado scenery!  At this time, we anticipate facial coverings will be required in all areas of the event except for while on the race route.  Participants will be expected to wear a mask up to the start line, once across the start line, it is at their discretion to remove their mask.  We encourage participants to be respectful of those around them, most especially around our amazing volunteers that are out there supporting your efforts!

This is Colorado at its best!
