The Great Trailhead Footrace
The Great Trailhead Footrace takes place at Pelican Point, Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, Colorado on October 16, 2027. The event uses winding singletrack and dirt trails near Denver and includes varied trail terrain.
The course options are:
- 5 miles on singletrack and dirt trails
- 10 miles as a double-loop on the same trail network
The route includes sections of uphill and downhill, and at least one creek crossing is noted on the course. The 10 mile distance awards a finisher mug to participants who complete that course.
Registration includes several post-race items and site access. Participants aged 21 and over with valid ID are eligible for free beer. A complimentary finisher meal is provided and lists hot dogs, chips, bananas, protein bars, and nonalcoholic beer among the options. All participants receive an official short-sleeved cotton race shirt while supplies last; men's and women's sizing is offered and size exchanges may be possible after the race if unclaimed shirts remain. The event includes free admission to Bear Creek Lake Park for the day.
The race partners with Backpack Society to support local food security. Bringing five or more food items on race morning enters the donor into a race-day raffle. Most-needed donations include cereal, mac and cheese, jelly, and granola bars. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
