The only running event with a Halftime...
featuring the Recovery Zone

The Recovery Zone, a place where you can come after finishing the first 10k leg of the Double to rest, recover,  and prepare your body for finishing the last 5k. Here, you can find a place to hydrate and refuel, complimentary massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncture, and gym equipment. The Recovery Zone of the Double is an amazing and unique event in racing that gives Double Road Racing its most important highlight for runners.

The Recovery Zone gives the opportunity to explore activities that compliment running and the recovery process. There are not too many places one can find this wide array of preventative health, body work and education available to runners at the most criticle time of their race. The Double Road Race is an event that provides the most complete experience for the body imagineable in a runner's world.

Trainers, runners, and athletes of all kinds will agree that recovery is the most important part of a workout or run. Many times during a race, the body is put through tremendous stress hanging on to the finish. We give runners an opportunity to cover the distance and discover what they can do for the body to prepare and feel their best.

The most exciting  challenge with the sport is that you are able to decide what you need to do for yourself during the Halftime, opening up an array of possiblities and promoting exploration into the runners body on a completley different level than before.  Tips and strategies on what to do in the Recovery Zone to finish the Double with the best combined time are shared from some of our elite runners  in our Runner's Guide to the Double Road Race.

What will you do in between the 5k start and the 10k finish? Stretch out and hydrate? Nibble on some fruit while lying down for a massage? How about jumping on a recumbent bike to keep those legs pumping and warmed up for the next leg?

You never know what will greet you at the Recovery Zone. The Double Road Race will capture the essence of each location. You could be getting a massage at the NCAA Hall of Champions or receiving acupuncture overlooking the beautiful white peaks of the Colorado Mountains. What will you do during your Double?
