The Experience
Starting at the Estes Park Events Complex, the Bigfoot Half Marathon climbs over 1,000 feet on scenic roads just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. The challenging course rewards runners with a downhill push into downtown and a finish line at Bond Park, part of the lively Bigfoot Days Festival.
With only about 100 finishers from 15 states, this small race packs a big party. The festival features live music, Bigfoot celebrities, over 50 vendors, and a free Lumpy Ridge Brewing beer for each runner. It's a cupless race, but you can buy a Bigfoot cup at check-in. The hoodie giveaway and festive atmosphere make it a fun, community-driven event in the heart of the Rockies.
