About the Platte River Half-Marathon, Relay & 5k
The course runs along the Platte River Trail, so the path underfoot is smooth and the surroundings stay open the whole way out. The route is flat with the river close by, and the scenery holds up for the full distance rather than petering out once you leave the start area.
The race starts and finishes near Breckenridge Brewery, and the post-race scene there is real: food, vendors, and live music in addition to beer. The brewery campus gives the start area a concrete anchor that is easy to find.

The Platte River Half-Marathon, Relay & 5k has been held every year since at least 2021. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
