Top SIX reasons to stay at the Westin before and/or after HAN:

1. Warm showers!

2. Walk to your room. Course runs either through or around hotel, so no driving is required to race. Great for our out of town or state racers.

3. Katchina Mexican Grill is located in the hotel and is a terrific restaurant in its own right. You can walk to dinner and just need to take the elevator to the first floor. This is great for tired racers.

4. Give your self a stay-cation or family weekend and race Colorado’s Best Obstacle Mud Race.

5. Make it a weekend event, rather than single day and race Hard As Nails Obstacle Mud Race on Saturday and then do laps on the Colorado Wilderness Slip And Slide on Sunday.

6. The Westin has created a great discount lodging program for race participants.

Now Available! Opportunities for discounted lodging can be found at The Westin Westminster Hotel.

Donate your old running shoes to One World Running at the end of the race! Your shoes will raise funds for our charity partner and become recycled as footwear.

One World Running will be located close to the adult finish area at the end of the race.

One World Running’s Mission Statement: “One World Running is an international program promoting an awareness of health, fitness and nutrition by providing running shoes to those in need in the United States and around the world.
