Arby's Rocky Mountain Half Marathon & Seagate Women's 8K Run
Denver, CO

Date

Sunday, June 10, 2007

Event Details

Begun in part to raise funds for Denver's Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, the Rocky Mountain Half Marathon also features a 5.5K road race and the Seagate Women's 8K, all of which begin and end at the Subaru Center in downtown's Riverfront Park. The half marathon takes runners past several of the city's signature tourist attractions, including Coors Field and Invesco Field (home of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies and the NFL's Denver Broncos, respectively), as well as Sloan's Lake (around which the half marathon proceeds near the end of the course) and the city's Performing Arts Complex.

The course takes place, of course, at one of the highest altitudes anywhere in the United States and its most dramatic elevation changes occur around miles 7 and 8, near the area called Marine's Hill.

Race Weather & Climate

The early days of summer tend to offer ideal weather for the event, with June temperatures that average between 53°F and 82°F. Rainfall is low during this time of year, as Denver averages just over 1 1/2 inches of precipitation during the month.
