Arrowhead Half Marathon & 5K

The Arrowhead Half Marathon & 5K takes place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, in the Arrowhead area and on trails that traverse Arrowhead, Bachelor Gulch, and Beaver Creek ski resort terrain. The event offers two distances.

• Half Marathon 13.3 miles, 2,844 ft elevation gain
• 5K 5.6K, mostly downhill, 937 ft elevation loss

The half marathon route includes an added half mile on the first ascent for 2026 and reaches a high point near 9,560 ft at the Bachelor Gulch Mountain summit. The course mixes single track and dirt or gravel roads and reports approximately 78% single track for the half and 80% single track for the 5K. The half provides access to aid stations five times overall; the 5K has no aid stations on course but water is available at the start and finish and participants should be prepared to carry their own fluids.

Logistics include race-day bib pickup and shuttle service from the Berry Creek Middle School parking area to the race starts, with parking available at Berry Creek Middle School and Red Canyon High School. Finish-area amenities include race t-shirts, postrace food such as donuts and fruit, a raffle for participants, and awards in multiple age categories for both distances. The event is part of a trail running series that records results and maintains series scoring and all-star recognition. The organizers encourage reusable hydration and minimal waste practices.
