The foothills surrounding the renowned Royal Gorge Bridge & Park are swiftly gaining recognition for their breathtaking trails in Colorado. Join the Rim to Rim Royal Gorge Races for an exhilarating experience with a 5K road race, 8-mile trail run, or half marathon trail run. Each race promises stunning vistas, with all routes culminating in a memorable finish—running across the iconic Royal Gorge Bridge.
But the impact extends beyond the racecourse. By participating, you’re supporting a noble cause. All proceeds from the event directly benefit Starpoint, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing vital services to adults with cognitive and physical disabilities, along with children and their families.
Come and be a part of something meaningful. Lace-up your shoes, embrace the beauty of the landscape, and Run for a Reason!
The 5K course runs throughout the foothills just north of the Royal Gorge Bridge. The scenery is magnificent throughout. It is common to see registered runners stop to take photos during the races. The courses offer a good challenge with some a few hills. But not to worry, both races end on a thrilling downhill run towards the Royal Gorge Bridge. Runners will then make their way across the Royal Gorge Bridge toward the finish line. An epic undertaking!
For the 8 Mile Trail Run, runners will take off from the same start as the 5K (main parking lot). Runners will run about .7 miles before reaching the trail, Twisted Cistern. Trail runners will travel 1.6 miles on Twisted Cistern, then make their way onto Made in the Shade for a 3.1-mile loop. After the loop, runners make their way up Twisted Cistern and towards the Royal Gorge Bridge where they will run across to the finish. This race will be capped at 200 runners.
With stunning views and spectacular scenery, get ready for one of the most beautiful half-marathons in Colorado. With just the right amount of challenge and fun rolling hills, this is a course that you’re sure to enjoy – a half-marathoner dream, come actual run! This race will be capped at 200 runners.
