Course and logistics
Both races start and finish near the City Park pavilion. The half marathon follows the Arkansas River trail west toward Lake Pueblo Dam, with a mix of paved and dirt sections and a stretch past a nature center and open field. The 5k is an out-and-back course with a water station at mile 1.33 near the turnaround.
There are five water stations on the half marathon course; the first offers water only and the remaining stations offer water and Gatorade. Packet pickup is available the day before at Pueblo Subaru and on race day at the pavilion. Parking is available on streets and near the pool, zoo, and softball fields; traffic through City Park is one-way. No dogs or strollers are allowed. Prizes include cash awards for overall top three male and female finishers in the half marathon and age-group medals for both events. Refunds carry a $30 fee and transfers are handled through RunSignup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
