Barr Lake Trail Race

The Barr Lake Trail Race, held in Brighton, Colorado, offers a scenic and fast trail running experience around Barr Lake State Park. Celebrating its sixth year, the event features multiple distances: 50K, 30K, half marathon, 15K, and 5K, all on flat, dirt terrain with minimal elevation gain (under 100 feet per loop). The course loops around the lake, providing continuous views of the water and the Colorado front range, making it ideal for runners seeking personal records or a welcoming trail run.

Aid stations support runners, and the race promotes sustainability with a cupless initiative. The start and finish are at the Nature Center, creating a friendly and picturesque atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
