The GREAT Trailhead Footrace
Welcome to The GREAT Trailhead Footrace at Bear Creek Lake Park, where winding singletrack, dirt trails, and beautiful Colorado scenery await—just minutes from Denver!
Choose your adventure: 5 miles of genuine trail running or 10 miles of double-loop fun! Whether you're chasing a PR or just looking for an excuse to get outside, this is your chance to trade the pavement for dirt, tackle a few hills, splash through a creek, and enjoy the great outdoors.
🍻 The Finish Line Is Just the Beginning!
After you've conquered the trails, stick around for a great post-race celebration! Your registration includes:
🍺 FREE BEER for participants 21+ with a valid ID
🌭 FREE finisher's meal with hot dogs, chips, bananas, protein bars, nonalcoholic beer, and more!
🏞️ FREE admission to Bear Creek Lake Park for the entire day!
☕ Finisher mug for all 10-mile participants!
And the best part? It's all included in your registration fee! No extra park admission charge, no extra cost for your finisher's meal—just a great day on the trails with great people.
Come for the trails. Stay for the party. Leave with a GREAT story! 🥾🌲
SWAG
👕 Race Shirts
A little trail pride you can wear anywhere! 🌲
Every participant gets an official GREAT Trailhead Footrace shirt (short sleeved, cotton), with men's and women's sizing options available!
Shirt sizes and styles are available while supplies last, so register early for the best selection. As race day approaches, some sizes may sell out, and a "no shirt" option may be offered.
Want to swap sizes? After the race begins, we'll happily help with exchanges if your preferred size is available among the unclaimed shirts.
Wear it proudly! You've earned those trail miles!
☕ 10-Mile Finisher Mugs
Ten miles. One GREAT reward! 🏆
Take on the full 10-mile challenge and earn your official Trailhead Footrace finisher mug! It's a well-deserved keepsake to celebrate every hill climbed, creek crossed, and mile conquered.
Fill it with your favorite beverage, kick up your feet, and toast to a GREAT day on the trails!
