The 44th Annual Basalt half-marathon and relay is scheduled for June 6, 2021. The 13.1 mile race is open to individual racers and two-person relay teams (each runner runs 6.55 miles). The race starts 13.1 miles up Basalt’s scenic Frying Pan road that parallels the Frying Pan River, home to gold medal fly-fishing. After a ¼ mile start on a dirt road, the racers descend approximately 1,000 feet in elevation along the paved road with clearly marked mile markers and finish in downtown Basalt at Lion’s Park. The morning of the race buses will depart Lion’s Park in downtown Basalt at 7 am and shuttle the runners to their start lines. There will be three aid stations along the course. Online registration is open thru www. active.com. Registration forms can be downloaded and mailed in via www.basalthalfmarathon.com.
