Eat. Run. Adopt.
Join us for Berthoud’s first-ever community-driven 10k!
In partnership with Berthoud Pet Supply, this isn’t just a race—it’s a moving feast with a mission. A portion of race registration proceeds will go to Scroungy Dogs and Pretty Pups Rescue This community race and expo is designed to support Scroungy Dogs and Pretty Pups Rescue, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs and cats throughout Northern Colorado.
Inspired by the spirit of the famous Taco Bell 50k, we are hitting the pavement to celebrate the heart of our town: our local cuisine, and small businesses. Runners will run around town stopping at set up food aid stations with a sample of the local restaurants food. They will wear a wristband that will be hole punched to show they completed eating their samples. They can collect all samples and eat them at the finish but need to hole bunch their wristband to confirm they made the stops.
Prizes for the overall winner are BOLDERBoulder 2027 entrance + cash prize. Runners up in men, women, kids, seniors get a gift basket with local items from local businesses.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
