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.

Havoc at HartFit is a 3k Obstacle Course Race (OCR) competition presented by HartFit ELEVATE OCR and The Midwest OCR. Waves (comprised of 3 athletes) will be sent out at intervals of 30 minutes. Each wave will have a strict 40 minute cap to complete the course. The race will be capped at only 50 participants. The top overall Male and Female times will be crowned the winners.

Featured obstacles and stations will include Assault Bike, Low Rig, A Frame Rig, 8ft Wall, Rope Climb, Bucket Carry, Wreck Bag Run, Tire Flips and maybe a few surprises. Athletes will complete a total of 3 laps to achieve the 3k distance. The first 2 laps will consist of 1100 Meters, all obstacles and a 300 Meter Carry. The 3rd lap will consist of an 800 Meter Run, including all obstacles, but excluding the heavy Carry.

In addition, we'll be hosting a 1 Mile kids course at the conclusion of the adult event. Obstacle completion is not mandatory - Fun, on the other hand, definitely is!

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! We're continuing our newest tradition of both in-person and virtual race registration for our friends and neighbors who choose to celebrate from afar.

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?!? Each registration fee goes toward supporting education in Palmer Lake.
