My husband and I decided to throw in this half marathon between climbing 14ers in Colorado! Glad we did. It was gorgeous. We're a couple flatlanders so we struggled a bit with the elevation but still enjoyed all aspects of this race. This race is a point to point net downhill course. We were shuttled at the finish, in Idaho Spring, back to the start in Georgetown and didn't have to wait long for our ride. Great t-shirts and lots of free bees at the finish line. The only negative is that they did not offer any calories on the course. Plenty at the end though. Beautiful, beautiful course if you like the Rockies!
