Slacker Half MarathonJune 24, 2006, Georgetown, CO
|
| Loveland Ski Area Do not be misled by the name but this is the Slacker Half Marathon/4 Mile Race! It is the highest downhill half marathon in the country---- beginning at 10,630 feet and traveling over a rolling hill descent to 8400 feet! The half marathon begins at Loveland Ski Area and travels the first five miles through a Forest Service area of wetlands and natural waterfalls on a non-motorized dirt road built to sustain the weight of an ambulance! The second 4.4 miles travel from Bakerville to Silver Plume along a paved frontage road with amazing views of the Continental Divide and mining remnants. The last portion of the trail travels from Silver Plume to Georgetown on a paved bike trail (and paved road) with scenic views of the Georgetown Loop Railroad and the largest Bighorn Sheep herd in the State! The race ends in downtown Georgetown where festivities will take place which include live music, beer garden, gravity jumps for kids, and more freebees than you can imagine. This is the fourth annual Slacker Half Marathon/4 Mile Race and we are offering three great races: The Slacker Half Marathon The Slacker Half Marathon 3-person Relay*** The Slacker 4 Mile ***This relay has a really great twist!
