This was an in-and-out course (so 13.1 miles one way and then turn around to run the remaining 13.1 miles). The course was a mix of asphalt, gravel, and dirt. There were next-to-no flat areas because the course was hilly. I did much better than I thought I would because the weather got hot and I’m not used to running in the CO elevation. I’m glad there were aid stations every 2-ish miles!
The expo was small and I wish there were vendors. I really loved the shirt and medal! I’m also glad my friend in CO was able to come out to see me!

Great aid stations and volunteers, had Gatorade and water, some had gels. Coincidental parachutists this year, AF Thunderbirds in 2022. With about 300 runners I felt I was running alone … MORE

With about 300 runners I felt I was running alone some of the time.
No expo to speak of, but pickup was fast and efficient.

I should’ve signed up for the half or full marathon but it was a last minute sign up. Nonetheless, the 5K route was still beautiful and the turnout was great. … MORE

The marathon and half marathon were sent out together, and remained on the same track for about 12 miles. Even so, the course never felt crowded. Although the weather was quite chilly and foggy at the start, by the time I reached mile 3 it had cleared up enough so that I was able to see Pikes Peak for the reminder of the race. Absolutely breathtaking! My favorite part of the course ran by the Olympic training center and through America the Beautiful Park. The finishers medal is easily one of my favorites. I highly recommend this race!

I decided to run this race about 5 days prior to race day, even though it’s been on my list to try for a few years. Pre-race communication was clear and straightforward and packet pickup was clearly organized and easy to find and navigate. The course was beautiful, highlighting many great features of downtown Colorado Springs. Mile markers were clearly visible, the course was wide enough that I never felt cramped, even on the dirt trails and the volunteers were amazing! Everyone was friendly and supportive! The police officers on the course were very friendly and encouraging and kept us runners safe with all of the streets they blocked off throughout the course. The medal and tech shirts were awesome, some of my favorites that I’ve seen. This was my 25th half marathon and I am so glad that I chose the Colorado Springs Half Marathon to celebrate this exciting personal milestone. I will absolutely recommend this race to friends and fellow runners, and look forward to running again next year (maybe for the full)!
Highly recommend
