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 … MORE

    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!

    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.
