About the Ralston Creek Half Marathon
The Ralston Creek Half Marathon is a February road race on the west side of Arvada, Colorado, near Denver. The course mixes roads and bike paths: the first five miles are fairly flat with a barely noticeable climb, miles 5 to 6.5 roll with one good climb, and the high point is atop Ralston Mesa at mile 7.75, after which it runs mostly downhill and flat to the finish. A 5K starts the same morning, and half marathon runners who expect to take more than 2:45 can use an early start. The race is the last of three events in the Racing Underground Winter Running Series, after the Superior Stocking Run 5K in December and the Yeti Chase 5K/10K in January.
