PRA Miner Gold Rush

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.
