ABOUT US

The Aspen Valley Half-Marathon was started in 2010 by Katherine Adams Solon, 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 athlete competing in long distance biking events internationally.

The Aspen Valley Marathon takes place in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier, offering runners the opportunity to qualify for one of the most prestigious races in the world. With its stunning natural beauty and downhill course, the marathon is a must-do for any runner or outdoor enthusiast.

Runners will traverse a scenic route that winds through alpine forests and past the Rio Grand river ending in downtown Basalt. The race offers multiple options, including a full-marathon, half-marathon, and 5K, making it accessible to runners of all skill levels. After crossing the finish line, runners can celebrate their achievement at the Aspen Valley Marathon’s afterparty, complete with live music, champagne, and delicious local food.

Whether you’re looking to push your limits or simply enjoy a beautiful run, the Aspen Valley Marathon is an unforgettable experience that you won’t want to miss.
