We will be running routes that will incorporate running on both sides of the Arkansas River and each distance will have a loop to follow. Half of the course will be on top of the historic Arkansas River Levee and the 5K will use the first suspension bridge as a crossing point while the 10K will use the solid iron bridge near Runyon Lake. The 10 mile will go east to Lake Runyon, around the entire lake and head back west using the entire length of the levee. All of the course is traffic free for runners safety.

☀️ Weather Conditions

Pueblo is located in the "banana belt" of Colorado. 76% of the days in Pueblo are Sunny, more sunny days than San Diego or Miami. When other areas of Colorado experience snow, Pueblo many times remains dry. That being said, weather in March is unpredictable. We hope for sunny and 60 degrees but it could be snowing. Check the weather forecast: be prepared for snow and cold. Please do your best to provide a quality and safe run and enjoy your run.
