PRA Miner Gold Rush is a school-year kickoff race and fall festival at Prospect Ridge Academy, featuring a 5K on campus in the morning and a 1-mile fun run afterward. The 5K corrals at 8:30 a.m. and starts at 9 a.m.; the shorter run begins at 10:30 a.m. The schedule shifted earlier due to afternoon thunderstorms impacting past events. The race day centers on the PRA community, drawing over 1,000 people to campus in a recent edition. The 5K also serves as a BOLDERBoulder qualifier, making it more than a casual school run for those aiming for a seeded start there. Following the running events, the Fall Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the grass soccer field, offering ticket packages, family sponsorship levels, business sponsorships, and early festival access for families purchasing a sponsorship package.

Der Long View Marathon ist ein Punkt-zu-Punkt-Rennen zwischen Fort Collins und Loveland im Norden Colorados. Der volle Marathon startet im Edora Park und endet im Fairgrounds Park. Im selben Zielbereich findet auch der Halbmarathon statt, der im Fossil Creek Park startet, sowie ein 5K, der rund um den Fairgrounds Park ausgetragen wird. Die Rennen sind im Oktober, mit gestaffelten Morgenstarts für Marathon, Halbmarathon und 5K. Die Strecke nutzt Abschnitte der Long View und Front Range bike paths. Das bedeutet, die längeren Rennen laufen auf einem asphaltierten Weg statt auf einer abgesperrten Innenstadtrunde. Die Startunterlagen kann man bei Altitude Running in Fort Collins vor dem Renntag abholen, oder am Renntag selbst an jedem Startbereich, aber nur bis zu einer strikten Deadline. Die Preise für Marathon und Halbmarathon umfassen spezielle Werke der lokalen Künstlerin Amy Hayman, Gutscheine für lokale Geschäfte, Gesamtsieger- und Altersklassenpreise; der 5K bietet Gesamtsieger- und Masters-Preise.
