SLACKER 2023

Hey Slackers! 

The 2023 Slacker Races will be held on June 24th!  

 

Registration is Now Open!

Don’t miss your chance to claim bragging rights for being a Slacker!  The Slacker is the world's highest half marathon, and it’s coming up on June 24! Starting at the base of Loveland Ski Area, at an elevation of 10,630ft, runners descend to 8,400ft, for post race festivities in downtown historic Georgetown (think: ridiculous amounts of freebies, local craft beer, and live music!). 

 

The course includes a combination of dirt and paved roads, leading participants through beautiful wetlands, natural waterfalls, stunning views of the Continental Divide, and historic mining remnants! Don’t slack off and miss this incredible opportunity – sign up today!

Thank you, Beautiful Slackers! 

We hope to see you in June of 2023!

 

Gratefully,

Beth, Sam, and the Slacker Races Team

There is no strict time limit on the course, and water stations stay open until the last racer crosses the finish line! (usually by 1:30 p.m.) Throughout the course, there are volunteers on bikes with cell phones, plus volunteers at the water stations with cell phones, so if you need ANYTHING—ask for help!
