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.

Le Long View Marathon se déroule en mode point à point entre Fort Collins et Loveland, dans le nord du Colorado. Le marathon complet part d'Edora Park et arrive à Fairgrounds Park. La même zone d'arrivée accueille le half marathon, qui lui part de Fossil Creek Park, ainsi qu'un 5K dont le parcours est centré sur Fairgrounds Park. Les courses ont lieu en octobre, avec des départs échelonnés le matin pour le marathon, le half marathon et le 5K. Le parcours emprunte des sections des pistes cyclables Long View et Front Range, ce qui veut dire que les courses les plus longues utilisent un couloir de chemin goudronné plutôt qu'une boucle fermée en centre-ville. Tu peux récupérer ton dossard chez Altitude Running à Fort Collins avant le jour de la course, ou bien sur place à la zone de départ de chaque course le matin même, mais attention, avec une heure limite stricte. Pour le marathon et le half marathon, les prix incluent des œuvres personnalisées de l'artiste locale Amy Hayman, des cartes cadeaux de commerces du coin, des prix au scratch et des récompenses par catégorie d'âge. Le 5K, lui, propose des prix au scratch et pour les masters.
