This year’s Run the Rockies has expanded to include the entire weekend and will now be “chip timed”. The popular 10K/Half Marathon from Copper Mountain to Frisco will continue as our featured event on Saturday. On Sunday, we have added a 5K trail run/walk at the beautiful trails on the Frisco Recreation Peninsula. Save $5 for those choosing to race in both Saturday’s and Sunday’s events! The 10K is part of the 2012 Colorado Runner Racing Series and the 5K is part of the 2012 Trail Runner Trophy Series!!
