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 Long View Marathon to bieg punkt-punkt między Fort Collins a Loveland w północnym Colorado. Maraton startuje z Edora Park, a kończy się w Fairgrounds Park. Na tej samej mecie kończy się też półmaraton, który startuje z Fossil Creek Park, oraz 5K z bazą w Fairgrounds Park. Biegi są w październiku, ze startami rano, ale rozłożonymi w czasie dla maratonu, półmaratonu i 5K. Trasa wykorzystuje fragmenty ścieżek rowerowych Long View i Front Range. Czyli dłuższe dystanse biegną po utwardzonej ścieżce, a nie po zamkniętej pętli w centrum miasta. Pakiety startowe można odebrać w Altitude Running w Fort Collins przed dniem biegu oraz w strefie startu każdego biegu rano w dniu zawodów, ale trzeba pamiętać o limicie czasowym. Nagrody w maratonie i półmaratonie to indywidualne prace lokalnej artystki Amy Hayman, karty podarunkowe do lokalnych firm, nagrody generalne i w kategoriach wiekowych. W 5K są nagrody generalne i dla mastersów.
