Trail runners climb above Frisco and Dillon Reservoir
Plan a Colorado getaway for Run the Rockies Trail Races, combining 5K, 10K, and half-marathon trail racing with outdoor recreation and an overnight-friendly summer schedule.
Event details
Summit County singletrack rewards runners with sweeping views toward Dillon Reservoir during this scenic race morning each August, as three distances wind through forest and mountain terrain from the convenient Frisco Nordic Center base. A results board near the Nordic Center updates finishing times throughout the morning for families tracking more than one runner.
Because all three distances start and finish at the same Nordic Center, families can watch a runner both begin and end the race without relocating across town, an easy structure for younger spectators who tire of long waits at a remote finish line.
An early start at elevation makes a pre-race night in Summit County worthwhile rather than a predawn drive from Denver. Reserve a Stay in Frisco, pack layers for a cool mountain morning, and add Dillon Reservoir or Tenmile Range trails to extend the visit beyond race morning. It is an approachable trail race made easy to watch from a single comfortable base. Mountain mornings can feel cool even in August, so pack a light layer for the earliest race starts.
