Golden Leaf Half Marathon

Runners from across the US will descend upon Aspen, Colorado to participate in the much anticipated Vasque Golden Leaf Half Marathon.  Chosen by Trail Runner Magazine as one of "America's 14 Most Scenic Races" and Colorado Runner Magazine as the "Best Half Marathon" in 2008, the Golden Leaf is one of the most beautiful foot races in the Rockies. The course traverses the mountains of Snowmass and Aspen at breathtaking heights with fabulous mountain views.  The trail can be narrow and steep at times with elevation gains of 970 feet peaking at 9,400 feet in elevation.  Unlike the many fast and flat marathons on city streets, the Golden Leaf will challenge even the toughest of marathon competitors with its rocky mountain trails.
