Event
Details
Part of the ZOOMA Women's Race Series that also features half marathon
events in the spring and fall in Austin, Annapolis and Atlanta, the
ZOOMA Denver Half Marathon & 5-Mile Run takes runners through
the Stapleton area just east of downtown Denver, along a course that
unfolds through city parks and along the Sand Creek Greenway in Aurora,
just outside Denver.
Both the half marathon and the five-mile race follow out-and-back
courses that start and finish in Stapleton's Central Park, just off
Martin Luther King Boulevard and Central Park Boulevard. From there,
the race route winds its way through local neighborhoods in this
community built with sustainability in mind to be environmentally
friendly, where recycling is commonplace among the area's homeowners
and all homes are built to be Energy Star qualified.
The race also makes its way past Bluff Lake along Havana Way, into and
around Sand Creek Park, just a stone's throw from the green, tree-lined
fairways of nearby Fitzsimmons Golf Course. Runners follow the course
as they make their way along both sides of the creek that cuts through
the center of the park, and then merges once again with Havana Way for
the home stretch of the race, which takes runners back to the finish at
Stapleton's Central Park.
Runners can expect a fast and flat course through the Stapleton and
Aurora area's city and neighborhood streets, and while the race is
designed to celebrate and promote athletic involvement and fitness
among women and girls of all ages, the race is open to both women and
men.
