Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Colorado's Palmer Lake area on the Santa Fe Trail for the in-person DU Dash. Runners will traverse rugged terrain framed by the Rocky Mountains, connecting with nature while supporting wetland conservation efforts. Join us for a memorable journey through stunning vistas and pristine wilderness, where every step taken contributes to preserving our natural heritage.

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.
