Brace yourselves, Colorado Springs runners, there's a new race on the docket for this fall, and it's gonna be big!

The Colorado Springs Half Marathon and 5k, sponsored by Penrose St. Francis hospital, will take to the streets on September 28th. The course, which begins on Tejon Street and ends on Platte Avenue, takes a route that is designed to showcase the various parks of Colorado Springs including America the Beautiful Park, Acacia Park, Monument Valley Park, Memorial Park, the Olympic Training Center, and scenic Cascade Avenue.

(There is a possibility for slight changes to the course between now and September)

For those interested in a shortened version, a 5k option will be available. For the half marathon, a $5,000 prize purse divided among the top finishers will be up for grabs.
