WALKERS – Due to 6-hour time limit of the marathon course, WALKERS may only register/participate in the Half Marathon.
The official course time limit is 4 hours for the half marathon (a pace of 18:19 per mile) and 6 hours for the full marathon (a pace of 13:45 per mile). All participants are encouraged to train to complete the event within the official time limits. After these official time limits, roads will need to be re-opened to traffic.
All full marathoners must reach the course split/cut-off point at mile 11.9 by 10 am. This equates to a pace of 13:45 per mile from the last start corral that includes full marathoners. Any full marathoners reaching the cut-off point after 10:00 am will redirected to the half marathon course and will complete the half marathon.
There is a second time cut-off point for the marathon at mile 17.2, the entrance to Washington Park. Full marathoners who are not at this point by 11:05 a.m. (a pace of 13:45 per mile) will cut-off approx. 2.8 miles inside Washington Park and continue the marathon course just after mile 20.

Run with the Pace Team
CLIF BAR Pace Team
We’re pleased to announce the return of the CLIF BAR Pace Team to this year’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Denver Marathon & 1/2 Marathon!
They will be offering Pace Teams for the following finish times:
Half Marathon – 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30
Marathon – 3:15, 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00
Here’s how it works:
Each Pace Leader will run even splits (every mile will be run in the same amount of time) throughout the marathon, and by following your Pace Team leader, you’ll cross the line under two minutes of your goal finishing time. During the race, your Pace Team leader will also remind you to drink and eat, as well as offer words of encouragement. It’s that simple!
It’s Free. Just Sign-Up Online:
Fill out the online registration form.
Undecided? You can also meet the team at the Clif Bar booth during the Expo.
Meet Your Pacer: You can meet your Pace Team leader before the race at the Expo. Ask them about their marathoning backgrounds, how they fuel themselves during the race, and any other helpful tips you’d like to know from runners who’ve run more marathons in a year than most will run in their lives.
Race Day: At the expo, they will let you know where to meet on race morning. You’ll see them lined up according to pace and holding signs up with finish times. Just fall-in with your group. That’s all. No check in, no sign in, just meet them, and follow your Pace Leader to your best marathon ever!
