FRUITA TRAIL HALF
Our upcoming Colorado half marathon is a fun and exciting loop on the breathtaking singletrack in Fruita, CO. The course is 13.8 miles in length and features almost 1000′ of climbing. During this event, runners will enjoy the open desert with short steep climbs and descents alongside many beautiful views of the nearby buttes and mesas.
The half marathon loop will be run in a counterclockwise direction that contains all kinds of switchbacks and challenging terrain. The trail is connected by three Aid stations: Chutes and Ladders (3.5 miles), Frontside (7.5 miles), and Western (11.4 miles).
The north Fruita Desert is an epic place in the springtime and we’ll help you get the most out of your experience. Adventure Fest is a fun weekend of running and socializing!
