Welcome to the 52nd running of the Horsetooth Half Marathon. Your race will take you on a scenic point-to-point journey from Hughes Stadium, the former home of the CSU Rams, to the finish line party at New Belgium Brewery. On the way you’ll tackle the challenging hills of Centennial Drive along the shorelines of the shimmering Horsetooth Reservoir, before you head for the famed finish line party on the downhill Poudre River recreation trail. Whether an elite runner or a first time half marathoner, the Horsetooth Half Marathon offers a challenging yet surprisingly fast course, with a net loss in elevation.

Overview
Course Description
Starting at Hughes Stadium on Dixon Canyon Drive and ending at New Belgium Brewing, this point-to-point course takes runners along Centennial Drive alongside Horsetooth Reservoir before turning onto Bingham Hill Road and heading east. At mile 8.5, runners enter onto Poudre River Trail until the final sprint toward the finish line at New Belgium Brewing. With a total prize purse of $11,000 for the winner (up $3000 from the year prior), this event is one that brings the competition. If you’re not pushing for the finisher’s award, however, don’t worry – It also happens to be a great community event. After finishing, all participants are welcome to join in on the New Belgium Brewing after-party and post-race expo in Old Town Fort Collins. With free Belgian beverages, post-race food, and live music, it’s a great time for all.
