The Course
- The race begins at the foot of Copper Mountain in the middle of the bustling Copper Mountain Village at Burning Stone Plaza. As you clear Copper Village you will find yourself looking out onto the vast Valley of Copper Mountain, here you’ll start heading east along Copper Road, skirting the resort village with Copper Mountain looming over you.
After a quick run through the East Village the runners head toward the eastern edge of the mountain up to the Alpine lift and the Triple Treat area.
Once you come back through the valley along Beeler Place, you will pass the central village and the peak of Copper Mountain as you soon will find your way onto a beautiful road path toward Vail pass.
After a progressive uphill run on the path you return with a fast downhill into the resort where a grand musical finish awaits you on Main Street.

Timing
- Make every stride count! The US Half Marathon utilizes a computerized chip system, which records
each runners actual running time to the second
- Chip timing starts a runners time when they reach the starting line instead of when the gun goes off
- Your finish time is then calculated precisely when you cross the finish line
- Be sure to return your chip to the
collection boxes after you finish
