Estes Park Half Marathon - Estes Park (United States of America/Colorado)

 The "Estes Park Half Marathon" course starts in front of the Estes Park middle school, heading West towards Manford Avenue. Turn right onto Community Drive, descending towards Lake Estes. Turn left onto Highway 36, keeping to the right of the highway within the coned section. Take a right at Highway 34, passing the visitor center on your right. Head up the hill, joining the last half of the marathon course. Take a left onto Elk Trail Court. The course winds through an open residential area that is mostly flat to downhill. Take a left onto North Lake Avenue, which is a downhill paralleling Highway 34. Turn left onto Dry Gulch Road. The course climbs gradually for 3 miles and turns south onto Devils Gulch Road. The course is mostly downhill to mile 10, with a steep climb around mile 8. Mixed terrain takes you past the Stanley Hotel and down to Highway 34. The course goes through the coned visitor center parking lot onto the bike trail around Lake Estes. The last 2 miles travels along the south side of Lake Estes, through the tunnel under Highway 36, past the Stanley Fairgrounds and sports areas, and up to Brodie Avenue, turning right for a very short uphill before entering the Estes Park High School track and field at the South East corner. Complete less than one lap of the track counter clockwise and be greeted by enthusiastic crowds at the finish line! All the courses are recognized for being well marked - just follow the white EPM signs on the paths and roads. Not a course for a PR, but one of the most scenic you will ever run!
