GENERAL INFORMATION
COURSE: Both the 5K and 10K courses wind gradually down Upper Bear Creek, with a finish near Evergreen Lake. This course treats participants to one of the most scenic and fastest races in Colorado.

The race is open to all ages and abilities, however those participants who are USATF Colorado members (Click here for complete eligibility requirements) will be eligible for a share of the $2,500 prize purse as well as age group State Championship medals.
