Saturday 7th July 2012 - Aspen Valley Marathon

The Aspen Valley Half-Marathon was started in 2010 by Katherine Fitzgerald, who has been a long time resident of the valley and has been an avid runner for many years.  Kat has partnered with Sean Solon who has experience organizing Ruggerfest, Shining Stars Foundation and World Cup for Challenge Aspen.  Sean is also an althlete competing in long distance biking events internationaly. This year it has been extended to include both a full marathon (a Boston qualifying event) and a 5K.  This is a beautiful and scenic run along the historic Rio Grande Trail.
