Whether you’re up for a fun 5K or ready to conquer a challenging 100-miler, consider signing up for a race in Breckenridge. The scenery alone will leave you breathless (in a good way!)

Colorado’s mountain resorts are chockfull of adrenaline-pumping running, biking and whitewater events all summer long. There are races for everyone, from weekend warriors to hardcore ultra-athletes. So, lace up the running shoes, clip into the bike pedals, or start paddling, and make these epic events the highlight of your summer vacation. And if you’d rather take in the awe-inspiring surroundings from a camp chair, grab your cow bell and cheer from the sidelines!

Breck Epic | August 11-16

The Breck Epic is a series of 6 big backcountry loops (3 loops for the 3-day Epic-curious events), each between 35 and 50 miles long. The event is unique in that it uses a cloverleaf format; each loop starts and finishes within a mile from downtown Breckenridge and utilizes the sprawling network of trails in both Summit and Park Counties. The six stages are a well-rounded rider’s dream with long rhythmic climbs followed by endless descents.

The entire family can come out for one or all of the races throughout the summer: June 18, July 2, 16, 30. It's an entire evening of fun at the Frisco Adventure Park. There are three distances:
