- REMINDER -

The Mountain Avenue Mile Race start is located at Mountain Avenue and Sylvan Ct.
Plan ahead for getting to the Start line:

**Parents, this applies to the kids 1-Mile race as well.

Option 1: Park (bike or car) at City Park near the Start (located at Mountain Ave & Sylvan Ct) and run back to your vehicle after the race.

Option 2: Park near the Finish (located at Mountain & Howes) and do your warm-up to the start line or arrive early and catch a ride on the trolley to the start. There is not a set Trolley schedule for the race, it will be going back and forth as the trolley gets full.

Option 3. Park somewhere in the middle, walk/jog to the start, run the race, and then walk/jog back to your car.

*There will be portable toilets at both the start line and finish line.

Direct message us your answer to be entered into a drawing for a FREE race entry to your choice of the Mountain Ave Mile or the Human Race Half Marathon, 10k, or 5k races.

Trivia challenge closes Wednesday, August 5th at midnight and winner will be announced via email/and social media on Thursday, August 6th.

Invite Someone to Walk the Mile

One Mile Can Change Someone’s Day.
Help us include new participants. To share that feeling you have felt, starting the race, feeling the excitement, the sight of the finish line. The high fives with strangers, and the contribution to the community.

Not every finish line begins with a runner.

Sometimes it starts with an invitation.
Invite your spouse.
Invite your neighbor.
Invite your coworker.
Invite your parents.

The Walking Mile is designed for everyone—no training required.

Spend 20–30 minutes walking one of Fort Collins’ most beautiful streets alongside thousands of others celebrating health, community, and movement.

Who could you invite to walk with you?

The Walk is a new and discounted category to invite any and all to join our community. Help us share the love of fitness – share this code (SAVE50) that gives 50% off the entry fee to anyone who wants to walk the Mountain Avenue Mile walking wave.
