Golden Leaf Half Marathon

The Golden Leaf Half Marathon is a scenic running event held annually in late September, hosted by the Ute Mountaineer and the City of Aspen. The race starts at Fanny Hill in Snowmass and follows the Government Trail through picturesque Aspen groves, finishing at Koch Lumber Park in downtown Aspen. This bucket-list half marathon offers runners a beautiful course surrounded by vibrant yellow aspen trees and mountain landscapes.

Registration opens in spring and typically sells out quickly. The event is supported by local sponsors and offers discounted accommodations at nearby hotels for participants, making it a well-organized and popular race in the Aspen area.
