Event Details

This year marks the fifth anniversary of Littleton's Platte River Half-Marathon and Buckhorn Exchange Relay, a point-to-point race that starts downtown at the intersection of Alamo Ave. and Prince Streets, next to the Littleton Light Rail Station. The course then runs two miles through downtown's streets before meeting up with the Platte River Trail, which takes runners along 10 miles of riverside trail toward the finish line at the Buckhorn Exchange at 10th Avenue & Osage Street.

The course features an elevation change of about 120 feet, with a single uphill section near the end of the race at the 8th Avenue viaduct. Throughout the race course, the surface is paved, with occasional sections of dirt and crushed gravel.
