It is exciting to bring you another exquisite day of racing alongside the scenic Arkansas River! This is a fast course that starts in Pueblo’s City Park and takes you around the zoo just for starters. Then you drop down to the gorgeous rivertrail, where you will be encompassed with nonstop gorgeous terrain and scenery. This smooth path will lead you up towards the Nature Center and promptly switches your footing to soft dirt trailing. As you hit just beyond the halfway point, you will be confronted with a grandeur view of Lake Pueblo’s dam and get to see the forceful water rushing into the river. You will then head back along the trail and hopefully with fast footing and well refreshed as there are several water/gatorade stations along the way. Make sure to give a big “hello” to our high-school and club runners at the aid stations! This race will continue to donate and support youth running and the building of future racers!

Every year this race gets to host runners going for their first 13.1 goals, return racers that have made this race a tradition year after year, and showcases many elite trail and road racers. The array of accomplishing racers have been a joy to see take on this fast course and come through the finish line!
