  • Comments: This is one of the larger races in the Colorado Springs area. Decent overall prize money brought in some fast runners from Kenya and Ethiopia. This race makes a person work as there is very little that isn't either up or down.

  • Comments: This is a must do race for everyone. This year the Kenyans came out and smoked the course. Most fun I've had a running race in a really long time

  • Comments: This is a great race. Local HS running teams manned the water points - each had a theme and at the end of the race we were supposed to vote for our favorite water stop. That HS would receive a cash donation, which I thought was a good idea. I think my favorite was "Heaven" around mile 4/6. I doubt I'll do this again. This is my 3rd time running that race and its just so so difficult! Plus the tshirts are not cute, nor do they ever fit me!

  • Comments: I thought the extra 15mins before the start to allow all the race-day registrants to get in the race was actually experienced as a blessing by the majority of the rest of the racers. I know I used the Porta-Potty and was generally more relaxed by the delay- but I hadn't taken off my sweats yet either, so I was pretty relaxed already. :-)

  • Comments: This is a very challenging course and draws a good field of runners due to prize money to the overall winners/placers. The course is very scenic.
