Participant Transportation
The Marathon, Half Marathon, & 5-Mile races are all point-to-point courses through the Poudre River Canyon. Due to lack of parking at start areas & our effort to reduce impact participants must ride an event provided bus to the race starting locations. Participants arriving to the starting areas in a vehicle will be disqualified from the event. Only registered runners will be allowed on buses to the starting areas, your race bib is your bus pass. Please be on time. Do not leave anything on the bus as not all buses will be returning to the finish line. There will be a bag drop truck at each start area for your personal items. Participants board buses at Poudre High School.
