Come run or walk one of the most beautiful courses in the world! This year’s race will follow the same breathtaking course as last year, starting at the Forest Service in Building in Teasdale and offering spectacular scenery of the Boulder Mountains, Thousand Lake Mountains, and the Velvet Ridges as you cross the Fremont River into the beautiful, tree-lined streets of Torrey.

The race will begin at the Forest Service Building in Teasdale, but transportation will be provided from the registration area at the Park Pavilion.

All racers will receive a T-shirt and medal, with a cash prize going to the overall winners of the 5K and 10K runs. A light breakfast will be provided after the race at the Park Pavilion.
