The Breckenridge Brewery Half Marathon course starts and ends at this beautiful Colorado brewery. The out and back course along the Mary Carter Greenway trail will offer scenic views of the Front Range while running along the South Platte River. There is also a 5k fun run option.
Course
The Half Marathon and 5K will start & finish in the Reynolds Landing Parking lot adjacent to Breckenridge Brewery, with an out-and-back course along the Mary Carter Greenway Trail. The trail is mostly flat (and scenic!) as it winds north, and then back south along the Platte River. Aid stations will be available every 2-2.5 miles. Carrying your own water bottle or hydration pack is recommended. You may refill either at our aid stations. Toilets will be available at several locations throughout the course as well as at the start and finish line.

Top 3 overall male and female finishers. Awards will be given to the first three men and women to cross the finish line. Only runners starting in the 7:30 am wave will be eligible for the prizes. (Awards include – Colorado Brewery Running Series Event & Merchandise Gift Certificates, as well as prizes and gift certificates from Breckenridge Brewery).

The race was small with only ~230 people doing the half. To keep us spread out on the trail they had 7:30 and 7:45 start times. Race communication and checkin was a breeze. The route is an out-and-back along the river. Paved, except for the maybe 0.01 at the very end. Swag was decent and they had tons of giveaways at the end. I personally struggled because I live at 9′ of elevation and running at 5300′ is a bit challenging.
