Nearly 600 runners take off up the ski slopes of Snowmass Mountain in the Vasque Golden Leaf Half Marathon. Run up and over the mountain to Aspen, this trail half marathon is named in honor of the changing aspen tress along the course. Climbing 1,000 feet in the first mile and a half, runners battle high altitude, single track trails and rolling hills.
