FAQ

What is the registration fee and refund policy?

Registration fees vary by distance and timing. No refunds within 72 hours of the event; outside that window see the registration page for tiered credits (75% up to two weeks before, 50% within two weeks).

What should I bring to the start/finish?

Bring your registration confirmation or QR code, a photo ID, and any gear you need. Packet pickup is available the day before and race morning. Buses transport runners to the start and back to the Vail School District parking.

Are there aid stations and course markings?

Yes — well-stocked aid stations (water, electrolytes, fruit, chips) are located at each major access point; the course is marked with flags and marshals at road crossings. The course is point-to-point with separate marathon/half/10K routing that converges at the finish.
