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.

Adult registration costs $35, while children ages 6 to 12 can register for $10. Registration remains open until 8:30 AM MDT on race morning. The participants include not only runners seeking a specific time but also families, children, walkers, survivors, supporters, and individuals fundraising in honor of someone affected by sarcoma. The event is part of the Sarcoma Foundation of America’s Race to Cure Sarcoma series. This series utilizes local races to fund research and increase awareness of sarcoma, a rare cancer that can develop in bone or connective tissues like muscle, fat, nerves, blood vessels, and tissue around joints. The Denver campaign has a fundraising goal of $90,000. Individual fundraisers and teams, such as Super Mario, Team Dave Hughes, Purple Cancer Beaters, The Joel Memorial League, and Dave’s Legacy, are already contributing. This broader cause benefits over 200,000 sarcoma patients and their families, making the race both a community gathering and a practical fundraiser for research.

The availability of short, long, family, virtual, and no-shirt choices offers greater flexibility than a single-distance Halloween fun run.
