Humana Rock 'n' Roll Denver

Course highlights

The course for both the full and the half marathons follows an out-and-back loop route that starts at Civic Center Park in downtown Denver. From there, the half marathon course takes runners first in a northwest direction away from the park, along 14th Street on the way toward the Pepsi Center, the home arena for the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Denver Avalanche. After the run past the arena, the course next takes runners up Blake Street past Coors Field, where Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies play every summer. After runners make the turn there, they make a few more turns on 21st, Larimer, 18th and Arapahoe Streets before heading over onto Broadway, which they’ll follow until the next long straightaway along East 17th Avenue. From there, the race will take runners on a route that heads all the way west toward Sloan Lake Park, where runners will make their way around the edges of the park and the lake on three sides before turning left to head north on Tennyson Street.
