Columbia Sportswear will be providing all running participants at each race with its innovative Omni-Freeze ZERO® tech T-shirts, a temperature-regulating, super ventilated T-shirt, plus technical clothing for VRD staff, volunteers and medical staff. The Omni-Freeze ZERO® shirts each runner will receive capitalizes on sweat to lower the fabric temperature, creating an immediate cooling sensation. When a runner gets hot, it gets cool. Additionally, with UPF 50 sun protection, quick-wicking fabric and antimicrobial treatment, the shirts have the ultimate technology to ensure each runner stays dry, cool and protected.

New for the 2013 season, the VRD is partnering with Northside Coffee & Kitchen by offering our trail running community an awesome way to recover from the long grueling climbs and descents of race-day competition with the Refuel Program! At the race finish, Northside Coffee & Kitchen will have energy-packed items to feed our hungry runners & to jumpstart their recovery. Whether you just ran a PR or you merely survived the climb, Northside Coffee & Kitchen wants to refuel everyone with a nutritious, local, and tasty alternative that will leave you asking for seconds! 

 

The new Vail Half Marathon course will have the same start, climbing up from Golden Peak on a dirt service road to Windisch. Windisch is a climb up a steep two track leading you to a dirt service rd ( Gitalong road) for a short distance and turning left onto Mill Creek road. Runners will follow Mill Creek road for a mile or so and turn right onto South 6, a single track on your right hand side that will have you climbing for about ¾ of a mile through tall trees to Village Trail, a dirt service road climbing for another 2.5 miles. At Mid Vail you go right onto lower Lucy’s Loop, crossing Village Trail to Upper Lucy’s Loop, returning to Mid Vail. At Mid Vail you will connect with Kinickinick, a single track that will lead you behind the 10th restaurant and onto Mid Vail Escape. Mid Vail Escape is a single track that will have you climbing for several miles with plenty of elevation gain. Once at the top you will pop out onto Klosers Klimb, a service road that you will cross accessing the Grand Traverse. Enjoy the very scenic run to Eagles Nest atop the Gondola. This stretch of single track is located on the backside of Vail’s famous back bowls running you through amazing fields of wildflowers with views of beautiful mountain ranges. This is about a 5mile stretch traversing the majority of the way.

There will be 4 Gatorade/Water stations along the course of the run.  #1 aid station at 2.5 miles, the bottom of chair 10. The #2 @ 4.7 miles & #3 @ 6.5 miles will be at the Mid Vail Intersection.  The #4 aid station will be at mile marker 9.2 miles, just before you enter onto the Grand Traverse and your final stretch in the race.  The final four miles will be unassisted. Please be prepared.
