Enjoy the Best Race In Denver! The event is limited to 2,900 half marathoners and 100 relay teams.
The Platte River Half Marathon and Buckhorn Exchange Relay starts at 8am in downtown Littleton, on the south end of the intersection of Prince Street and Alamo Avenue.
The relay will consist of three legs of 5 miles, 5 miles and 3.1 miles.
The first exchange point is at the Englewood Golf Course just north of Oxford Ave. Take Santa Fe Drive north to Oxford Avenue. Go west on Oxford Avenue. Utilize the parking lot on the north side of Oxford Avenue on the west side of the Platte River. A volunteer will direct the 2nd runner to the 5-mile marker, which is a little ways north of the roundabout on the east side of the Platte River. Overflow parking is in the golf course parking lot, far west side by the bathrooms.
The second exchange point is located near Vanderbilt Park in Denver. Take Santa Fe Drive north to Alameda Avenue. Go west on Alameda, crossing I-25. Turn left onto South Platte River Drive. South Platte River Drive will turn into Jason Street. Follow Jason Street south until you reach Exposition Avenue. Go East on Exposition Ave. to where it intersects with Huron St. There will be an aid station at this intersection. Parking on the street nearby is your best bet. The actual exchange zone is a little bit further south on the trail before the runners go under Santa Fe.
The Platte River Trail is a multi-use trail and will be open to other exercise enthusiasts during the race. Please be respectful of their use of the trail.
