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.
This is Colorado at its best!

Start Time
We will once again host a wave start, releasing small groups about every 15 minutes. This best suits the path in the early part of the course. YOU get to select your start time during registration (once a wave reaches capacity, it will no longer be available).
7:00 a.m. First wave start
7:15 a.m. Second wave start
...this will continue every 15 minutes. Wave capacities are limited. Encourage friends and family to sign up along with you so that you can all start together.
Wave times and capacities are subject to change based on state and local guidelines.
**The course will close at 12PM, please keep this in mind when selecting your start wave time.
