Location: Grand Park in Winter Park, CO

If you are coming from Winter Park on Hwy. 40, the race is on your LEFT as you are leaving downtown, immediately after The Foundry and before the Century 21 Real Estate Offices and Shell Gas Station. Please look for Shining Stars Foundation signs indicating when to turn and where to park. Parking will be in the lot next to The Foundry and Grand Park Recreation Center. Overflow parking will be across Highway 40 near Cozens Ranch Museum.

Half Marathon Course: The course takes place almost entirely on remote dirt roads and trails. It is a single loop course beginning at approximately 8,700 ft. and traveling above 9,500 ft. Climbs and descents are fairly mellow for a mountain race, but we promise it will be challenging. Aid stations will be on course complete with water, sports drink, and fruit. The race is chip-timed. This race has a time limit - racers must be to mile 9 by 10:30AM.  8AM Start. 

5K Course: The course will take place on Grand Park's trail system. An aid station will be available at the finish line. The race is chip timed. 9AM Start.
