Copper Half Marathon and 10K 4th of July Weekend at Copper Mountain
Entering its’ 5th year, the Copper Mountain Half Marathon, in conjunction with Copper Mountain Resort and the 3 Ring Festival have moved the event to the July 3-4 weekend.
We have also added a NEW challenging 10k race for Saturday July 3rd.
With some of the most beautiful scenery, bike trails, creeks and mountain views, the Copper Mountain ½ Marathon will give you the full experience of mountain running. Starting at 9,700 feet, this race is for the runner looking to enjoy a nice run in the mountains and not for “time”. The course for 2010 will change slightly in the first 6 miles then continue its path up the Vail Creek Path.
For the kids we will host the FREE Cooper mini-marathon on Sunday July 4th at 11:00am for a ¼ mile run through Copper Resort and around the lake. Every kid will receive a finisher ribbon and frozen treat.
NEW THIS YEAR!- During the weekend the 3 Ring Festival will be running throughout Copper Mountain with FREE kids activities and live music for the adults. A kid parade, face painting, giant puppets, and eco-friendly expo will be just part of the festivities. For more information on the weekend activities go to www.3RingWeekend.com .
Fireworks! Stay all weekend and celebrate under the stars as Copper Mountain for FREE fireworks on both Saturday AND Sunday evening at the base of the ski resort. (Around 9pm each night)
Come up and enjoy a weekend of fun, activities and beautiful scenery!
