Event details and schedule
Online registration will open at noon on April 20. In 2015 we reached our race cap of 1000 people at 5pm the same day and expect a similar situation this year. Once we reach our race cap, registration will be closed.We will not be taking a wait list or allowing cancellations. It is possible to transfer in if you can connect with a registered participant who has decided not to race.

Estimating Your Time is MANDATORY: Typically you can add 30 minutes to the time of your road half marathon with no elevation gain (more if you are unaccustomed to an elevation of 8000 feet). Another way to estimate your time is to compare yourself to how racers finished in 2015. Out of 793 finishers in 2015, the following results were achieved: 1st place - 1hr 29min; 50th place - 1:53; 100th place - 2:03; 198th place (top 1/4) - 2:14; 396th place (middle of the pack) - 2:33; 594th Place (top 3/4) - 2:52. Please try to be realistic with your time as this will allow the waves to work properly and reduce congestion on the course.
