Course & Travel Notes

Plan for warm early morning conditions around 47°F when you arrive for the 8:30 AM start, layering up for the high that typically reaches the low 80s, and bring a light rain jacket since there's an 18% chance of measurable precipitation in mid-September in Commerce City. The venue sits at 5,167 feet elevation, so if you're not accustomed to altitude, plan accordingly for your training. Denver International Airport is just 7 miles away, making for a quick and convenient drive to the race location.
