Which nights should you book for 10k at 10,000 Feet?
Book the night before the race — 2026-09-05 — to be rested and ready for the early start. Also consider booking the night after, 2026-09-06, as many runners prefer to recover, shower, and rest before travelling home on tired legs. If you’re only attending the race day and plan to leave same-day, confirm transport options in advance, as road closures on race morning may delay or prevent car access.

However, exact walking time or route is not provided; check with your hotel for the most direct path to the start. Ride-share drop-off may be limited or rerouted due to closures, so rely on foot if staying at one of these properties.
Where do you eat and drink after the race?
Several local cafés, breweries, and casual restaurants are within easy walking distance of the venue area. These typically stay open into the evening and offer relaxed spaces to unwind, refuel, and celebrate after the race.
