Brief Description

The 2012 Heart & Sole Half Marathon and 10K are USATF-sanctioned road races held north of Boulder, framed by the majestic Front Range foothills. Half marathoners begin at the Rez and travel out through rural countryside on soft-packed dirt roads and quiet lanes on a loop course. 10K runners begin at the Rez and run a clockwise loop. Runners in each race enjoy support from volunteers staffing a dozen aid stations along the well-marked route. See our website for more details!
