Moonlight Miles 10k & Half Marathon

Description

Join us on the evening of September 26 for this beautiful night race! The course encompasses 2 loops (Out and Back for the 10k) of the James M Robb Colorado River State Park Corn Lake and Pear Park Sections of the Riverfront trail. You'll traverse through protected wetlands areas and watch the moon rise over the Grand Mesa. The course will be dark by the middle of the race with solar lights lighting course changes and challenges but it won't be enough to light your way so head lamps and/or knuckle lights are required. Each runner is required to wear a safety vest and as much glow-in-the-dark or neon as you can fit on your body! Have fun with the course as you see disembodied lights meander along the path while watching the stars twinkle and the moon shine. With a 5 hour time limit for the Half Marathon and a 4 1/2 hour time limit for the 10k, this event is ideal for walkers and runners of all abilities! All participants must wear a safety vest and head lamp or knuckle lights (not provided). Neon and glow in the dark are strongly encouraged! The half marathon will start at 6:00 pm and the 10k will start at 6:30 pm.
