Half Marathon Course Maps and Description |

MANCOS HALF MARATHON COURSE VIEW — The view from roughly the halfway point on the trail portion of the half marathon course.

The course features a mix of roughly 60% gravel roads and trails and 40% pavement. The maps below are intended to give a general idea of the course.

The paved and gravel roads portion are two-lane, lightly traveled county roads that will be open to local traffic.

The roughly two-mile off-road portion of the race that winds through private and BLM land (under agreement with the BLM) is an undeveloped trail, narrow and rocky in some spots, and runners are urged to use caution. This portion winds its way through land that burned in 2012. Runners will pass burned trees as well as abundant new growth. PRE-RUNNING OF THIS SECTION OF THE COURSE IS NOT ALLOWED.

START loop in town

The in-town section of the course is different in 2019 due to construction at the Mancos schools. The new route is displayed below.
