Runners start the DreamCatcher Half Marathon course near the banks of the Colorado River, just south of downtown Grand Junction, next to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens. From there, the race takes runners first into Las Colinas Park and across the river into Eagle Rim Park, before heading back across the river again. After that, runners stay mainly on the Riverfront trails, which is made up of both paved and unpaved gravel sections.
