Over It Race Series (Beulah Trail Half, R2R Trail Half & Rock Canyon Half)
Join us for our Over It series, which includes three epic Half Marathon races: the Beulah Challenge, the Rim to Rim Royal Gorge Race & Rock Canyon Half Marathon. Trail runners of all ages and abilities will enjoy this exciting new series, which features a beautiful half marathon in Beulah, CO, the half marathon trail run through the stunning foothills of the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, and a fast course along the Arkansas River in Pueblo, CO.
5K Road Run
This 5K is like no other. Mostly on a dirt road, you will start with a challenging hill and then make your way along the most stunning views before running back towards the finish line by running across the Royal Gorge Bridge. What an epic run!
8 Mile Trail Run
This trail is an 8ish mile event. This race will be capped at 200 participants. This race will begin at the same starting place as our 5K and half marathon trail race, however, will have a different start time. The race will go out of the main parking lot of the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park and run approximately.5 miles before dropping onto the trail, Twisted Cistern for approximately 1.6 miles. Runners will then do a 3.1 mile loop on Made in the Shade before returning to go back up Twisted Cistern and then make their way across the Royal Gorge Bridge to the finish line. Last year was our inaugural 8-mile trail event. We have received such positive feedback from runners about this event.
Trail Half Marathon
Join us for one of the most beautiful half-marathons in Colorado. There are so many stunning views and the course is beyond enjoyable with just the right amount of challenge with fun rolling hills. This is a half-marathoners dream come actual run! This race will be capped at 200.
