Runs With Scissors Races 50K
Race Day Weather
Cold start — layer up, big temp swing
Runners will start in chilly 32°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 54°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The 50K is 24 laps of a 1.31-mile loop around Mann-Nyholt Lake in Riverdale Regional Park in Brighton, Colorado, north of Denver. Much of the loop is on scree-covered trail. It is the longest distance of race weekend, held on the Saturday with the half marathon and marathon, and runners pass the start and finish area and its aid station on every lap.
