Rim to Rim Royal Gorge Races

New this year, the Rim to Rim Royal Gorge Races will be a one-day event featuring a 5K, 8-mile trail race, and an inaugural half marathon TRAIL RACE! The half marathon course is now a trail race that will connect to the 8-mile course. There was such great feedback on the 8-mile trail run last year, we decided to expand on that and offer something spectacular to our half-marathon runners.

All three races offer the unique experience of running over the famed Royal Gorge Bridge, America’s highest suspension bridge. These races will leave you breathless for more than one reason. The views throughout the foothills surrounding the Bridge are stunning. Often, we see runners forgetting about their best PR, stopping along the course and taking photos of the scenery surrounding them. It is quite the experience. Moreover, this race event supports a special cause. All proceeds from the event go to Starpoint, a local nonprofit organization that offers essential services to two vulnerable populations, children and their families, and adults with cognitive and physical challenges.

Registration includes free entrance into the historic Royal Gorge Bridge & Park (on race day). Family members will receive a $10 discount. After the race, we want you to slow down, relax, and take in the unique views that our region has to offer.

All registered runners will receive a 50% discount for the Royal Gorge Route Railroad (good for race weekend only).

There is a FREE KIDS’ race. All kiddos running the free race will receive a special coupon for the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience (good for one year).

The 5K is stroller friendly. All races are dog friendly, but only if your dog is friendly.
