Join us on Saturday, June 6, 2026, for the 5th annual Aiden’s Adventure 5K, a 5K run/walk held in loving memory of Aiden, an adventurous, joyful 5-year-old whose life was tragically cut short. This event is more than a race — it’s a celebration of Aiden’s spirit, a gathering of hearts, and a chance to turn grief into action. Aiden brought light, laughter, and love to everyone around him. Though his time with us was far too brief, his memory lives on in the lives he touched. This 5K invites family, friends, and the community to come together in remembrance, compassion, and purpose.
All proceeds from the event are donated to Care and Share of Southern Colorado and Catamount Institute located in Colorado Springs, CO, in Aiden's name.
Event Features:
🏃♂️ 5K route for all ages and abilities, beginning at 11:00am
🏃♂️ 1-mile kids dash for ages 11 and under, beginning at 10:00am
👕 Free T-shirt for early registrants
🎖 Finisher medals
🎪 Family-friendly atmosphere with carnival games, rock painting and butterfly release
🧁 Food trucks at the start and finish line!
🐶 Stroller and dog friendly, flat dirt route
Whether you walk, run, or simply show up to support, your presence honors a young life gone too soon and helps carry Aiden’s legacy forward. Let’s walk together with love, for Aiden.

Welcome to the 44th annual July 4th Fun Run, Palmer Lake Elementary's largest fundraiser, and fastest race. This year's Independence Day is sure to go out with a bang!

The course runs from the south end of Palmer Lake to Monument via the Santa Fe Trail. Run, jog, walk, skip, or parade along the trail while enjoying beautiful views of the front range, encouraging signs and an all around good time. Did we mention the route is a slight downhill, too?!?
