Garden of the Gods Ten Mile Run

NEW 5K Run!!!
New for 2012 is a 5K run which will start right after the 10 mile at 7:15am. The 5K will use the same start and finish line and head in the same direction but will turn around after 1.55 miles near the Garden of the Gods Trading Post. At less than a 1/3 the distance this is a great race for those wanting a shorter race or for friends and family of those doing the 10 mile.

ALSO NEW Pre-Race Expo!
Join us on June 9, from 10:00am to 6:00 pm at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. Famous running advocate, Bart Yasso, will speak at 2:00pm. Past Garden running legends, Pablo Vigil, Ric Rojas and Ted Castaneda, plus race founder Tom Berg, will share their stories at 2pm. So register for the race one block away at Colorado Running Company and then come over to the expo!
