2021 Events
Spanish Peaks Half Marathon, Half Marathon Relay, and Fun Run
Sunday, September 19, 2021 – Results for Half Marathon and Half Marathon Relay available here.
An out and back run on Highway 12, the scenic Highway of Legends, designated a National Scenic Byway in February 2021! This course includes a gradual outbound ascent totaling 756 feet of elevation gain and a smooth, even downhill cruise when the first half’s work is done. The turning point is arguably at one of the most scenic areas of the Highway of Legends with the stone dike formations looming to the east.
New in 2021 is the 2-person Half Marathon Relay. As always, there is also a Fun Run option.
Thank you to our 2021 sponsors – we couldn’t put this on without your help!
