Barr Lake Trail Race

The Barr Lake Trail Race, held annually in Brighton, Colorado, offers a scenic and fast trail running experience around Barr Lake State Park. Celebrating its sixth year, the event features multiple distances: 50K, 30K, half marathon, 15K, and 5K, all on flat, dirt terrain with minimal elevation gain (under 100 feet per loop). The looped courses provide uninterrupted views of Barr Lake and the Colorado front range, starting and finishing at the Nature Center. The race is ideal for runners seeking personal records or a welcoming trail run, supported by aid stations and a cupless, environmentally friendly approach.
