Rocky Mountain Half Marathon

The Rocky Mountain Half Marathon & 5K is a scenic running event held in Estes Park, Colorado, just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Participants can choose between a challenging half marathon, a 5K, or the Elk Double, which combines both races. The half marathon course is a paved road loop featuring a 780-foot elevation gain and a maximum altitude of 7,906 feet, offering stunning mountain and lake views.

The 5K course loops around Lake Estes with mostly flat terrain, suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. The event emphasizes sustainability with a cup-free policy and encourages runners to bring reusable hydration gear. It takes place annually in early August, providing a memorable mountain running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
