Who can turn down a morning in Garden of the Gods? We'll close the park to traffic, so runners can enjoy their race, traffic free! Runners can choose between a road race or a trail race! Whether choosing road or trail, runners are treated to views of the iconic scenes of the Garden, Siamese Twins, Kissing Camels, and Balanced Rock. All with snow capped Pikes Peak in the backdrop.
