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 race day centers on the PRA community, drawing over 1,000 people to campus in a recent edition.

The Long View Marathon runs point to point between Fort Collins and Loveland in northern Colorado. The full marathon begins at Edora Park and concludes at Fairgrounds Park.

The races occur in October, with staggered morning starts for the marathon, half marathon, and 5K.

Packet pickup is available at Altitude Running in Fort Collins prior to race day and at each race’s start area on race morning, subject to a strict cutoff. Marathon and half-marathon prizes feature custom works by local artist Amy Hayman, gift cards to local businesses, overall awards, and age-group prizes; the 5K offers overall and masters awards.
