Hello Runners and Dog Lovers!
Welcome to the 14th annual Run Like The Wind 5k / 2k run in Allenspark on Labor Day weekend - Saturday, August 29th at 9am, hosted by the Old Gallery. Register now for early bird pricing that expires on 7/31. Bring the family and your canine companions - we have something for everyone! The serious runners can enjoy a 5K course that starts and finishes downtown, boasting majestic views of Mount Meeker and the Continental Divide. The casual runners can enjoy the non-competitive 2k Walk / Fun Run, and the family dog can join either event for an extra $5. Your pup is automatically registered for the amateur dog show afterwards.
All proceeds benefit the mission of The Old Gallery; to provide resources and opportunities to enrich lives in our mountain communities.
