This is probably my favorite road race. The town really puts on a show, and makes runners feel welcome. In my prime , I was fortunate enough to have been given elite status in this race, and it was a special experience; however, weaving through the crowds other years

This would have been a Great race instead of just good, with the exception of the weather. You would expect a September race to be nice and cool, but it ended up being a freakishly warm and humid (80s) day, and after a mile, it was rough pushing through already

The race started with a flyover and we were off on live runways! It was a clear Colorado morning, had a great start, no crowding and plenty of space to spread out. Finished my best time! Lots of giveaways and finisher medals. It's an added plus to know you're helping people
