We would like to invite you to run the Aspen Valley Marathon/Half Marathon, the perfect summer destination race! The races are run on the beautiful Rio Grande Paved Trail which follows the Roaring Fork River.  Over 1,500ft net downhill the race progresses downvalley from Aspen to Basalt, Colorado. The 11th Edition of Aspen Valley Marathon will take place on Saturday, July 13, 2019.

In previous years,  we have been in the top 50 of over 300 Marathons in North America for Boston Qualifying (over 15% of our participants qualified for Boston). The Aspen Valley Marathon was ranked No.1 Marathon in Colorado worth travelling for by Flipkey/Tripadvisor. See you in Aspen next July!
