The Denver Trail Half Marathon is set to make its annual running in mid September. Â Runners will jump onto several different trails and follow a route with a pair of turnarounds in the hills just east of Greenwood Village.
The race unfolds largely along natural-surface dirt trails that start and finish at Cherry Creek State Park’s Hobie Hill, continuing along a series of interconnected trails before turning around and retracing their steps toward the finish line.
Limited to 400 entrants — the race has sold out in past years — the Denver Trail Half Marathon will feature aid stations out on the course, though runners are encouraged to bring along their own water bottles to ensure they’re well hydrated during the race, much of which takes place out in the open sunshine.
The race organizers at Colorado’s Endurance Sports add that trail shoes are recommended (though not required) for this race, because so much of it unfolds along dirt and single-track trails. Runners may sign up for the event on the day of the race (provided that entry spots still remain on race day).
