Both the Fall Equinox Half Marathon and 5 Miler are point-to-point downhill courses through the canyon consisting entirely of asphalt road (except for a very short section on dirt at the start of the 5-mile race).
Fast & beautiful, a great point-to-point downhill half marathon for a new PR! Starting at the famed Mishawaka & run entirely in the Poudre River Canyon. Enjoy the beauty & downhill course along Colorado’s only wild & scenic river.
Announcing the NEW Fall Equinox Marathon coming to the 2019 event! After many years of looking for the perfect marathon course to add to the fall event we have finally found it. A perfect point-to-point, downhill, gorgeous, race course running through the Buckhorn & Poudre Canyon, finishing at the the base of the foothills. Enjoy the rolling hills for the first 5 miles of the course & then open up your stride for the next ~21 miles of downhill! Limited to 250 runners for the first year.
All races finish at the bottom of the canyon ~ 0.5 miles West of Ted’s Place/Hwy 287. Enjoy post-race food and beverages on private land at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountain foothills.

This race always awesome. This was my first half marathon and first race outside of a 5k race and I loved it! The scenery was gorgeous. Transportation to the starting line was great and the post race party was great. The medal was a little small and nothing eye-popping but the tech tee was awesome! There is a hill at 8 miles that can be a bit of a stinger and from miles 10 to the finish line is very exposed so be prepared for Colorado sun and heat!
WILL REPEAT

This is the first time for me doing the Fall Equinox and it won’t be the last. Everything was easy from packet pick up to taking the shuttle to and from the start/finish line. Can’t beat the beauty of Poudre Canyon at the end of the summer. Downhill/flat course. Very minimal uphill. Not too drastic of a decline. Only flaw is the road is really sloped. But it is manageable. Highly recommend. GREAT swag!

The aid stations were amazing. The volunteers gave hydration at each stop. The most unique aspect of the race was the location and the limited number of runner allowed. The race could be improved with more nutrition.
Prettiest Race Ever
This race is run down the Poudre Canyon in Fort Collins. It is picturesque and staffed with great volunteers. My favorite race of the year. MORE
