About the All-Out Beat the Heat
The course follows Big Dry Creek Trail out and back from a Church Ranch office park, heading southwest toward Standley Lake Regional Park. The surface is mostly concrete and pavement with some softer gravel sections near the lake, so it runs firm underfoot. The longer distance gets open views of the lake with the Front Range sitting behind it. The course is flat enough to run fast.
Early packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a location announced closer to the date. On race morning, pickup opens well before the first wave goes out. The starts are staggered by distance with tight windows, so arriving early matters. Professional photographers are out on the course and at the finish, and the post-race setup includes an awards ceremony that wraps up by mid-morning.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The All-Out Beat the Heat has been held every year since at least 2013. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
