Colorado 24 Hour Run

🎉 Welcome to the Colorado 24 Hour Run

We aim to provide a fun, welcoming race experience that allows everyone to find a challenge, no matter where you’re at on your running journey. Want to see how far you can go in 6, 12 or 24 hours? Or achieve a new furthest distance? What about setting your fastest marathon, 50K or more? You’ve got the time and opportunity with a fully supported 1mi dirt loop that is easy on the eyes and feet. Come run for a day and/or a night and cheer on others as we strive together for our personal bests.

We aspire to not only offer a first-class running experience on the most scenic flat one-mile dirt loop you’ll find in Colorado, but also a top-notch post-race experience that will leave your bellies full and the stories flowing.
