Packet Pick Up

Runners can pick up their race packets either the Friday before the race or on Race Day near the start. Friday is preferred since that will help keep our lines short on Race Day.

Friday Packet Pick up:

  • Where - Great Divide Barrel Bar in RiNo (1812 35TH ST, DENVER, CO 80216)

  • When - Friday, July 21st, 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM

  • $2 off beers starting at 12:00 PM

Free Parking

  1. To make things easy, we rented the Coors Field parking structure at 27th and Blake, 2 blocks from the start. You must arrive before 7:45 AM, as Blake St will close at Broadway, 15 minutes before the start of the race.

  2. Dispersed street parking available throughout the neighborhood, first come first serve.

NEW - Wave Start

Since we’re going to have a record crowd of close to 800 runners, we’re going to split the field into two waves: 1) competitive and elite runners and 2) social and non-competitive runners (includes dogs & strollers). Waves will be self-seeding, meaning runners will get to choose in which wave to run.

  • Wave 1 will start at 8:00 AM

  • Wave 2 will start at 8:02 AM

Awards

  • First place team in Competitive Run Club / Training Group

    • Teams scored cross country style - top 10 men & top 10 women runners on each team score points according to overall finishing place by GUN TIME. The team with the LOWEST combined score wins.

    • Teams need at least 20 runners to be eligible for awards

  • Top 3 individual fundraisers
