About the Event

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Garden of the Gods, where nature's grandeur awaits. This exclusive morning race offers runners an unparalleled experience with the park closed to traffic, ensuring a serene and uninterrupted journey through one of America’s most stunning natural settings.
Participants can choose between two routes: a scenic road course or a challenging trail run that winds its way past iconic formations like Siamese Twins, Kissing Camels, and Balanced Rock. Each route is framed by the majestic backdrop of snow-capped Pikes Peak, creating an awe-inspiring setting for every runner.
For those looking to extend their adventure, a 9.5-mile course invites runners to explore deeper into the park’s rugged beauty, offering even more opportunities to marvel at the region's distinctive red rock formations and expansive vistas.
With well-marked courses, aid stations strategically placed along both routes, and detailed maps available on the race website, this event ensures that every runner has everything they need for a memorable experience. The site also provides essential information such as packet pickup details, driving directions, cancellation policies, FAQs, and more to help you plan your visit seamlessly.
Join us in Garden of the Gods and discover why it’s hailed as "America's Most Beautiful Park."
