Location
City insight: Centennial
Centennial is a home rule city in Arapahoe County, Colorado, USA, and the state's 11th most populous municipality. It is part of the Denver–Aurora–Centennial metropolitan area and the Front Range Urban Corridor. Summers are warm and dry and winters are cold but often sunny, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
