Come out for a casually-paced preview of *most* of the Blue Sky Marathon & Half Marathon courses, starting from the Blue Sky Trailhead.
This is a largely self-guided run with friends - there will not be course markings.
For marathoners, you'll preview the full south section of the course, 17.5mi mostly out & back down Blue Sky, around Indian Summer, and the Laughing Horse & Hunter loops:

For half marathoners, you'll be doing roughly 8mi in Horsetooth Mountain Park, also starting from the Blue Sky Trailhead, heading to Soderberg Trailhead, up Towers and doing a lollipop around Herrington, Loggers & Carey Springs before returning via Towers. https://www.strava.com/routes/3265009363893562166
There is NOT water on this route (or at the trailhead) - plan accordingly. There is a spigot at the RV fill station on Shoreline drive around the corner from the trailhead.
