Lakewood, United States • 17 Oct 2026

The Great Trailhead Foot Race 5 & 10 Miler

The Great Trailhead Foot Race takes place at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, Colorado (15600 W Morrison Rd). The event uses single-track dirt trails and offers two distance options: a single 5-mile course or a 10-mile race run as a double lap. The start and finish are located at the Pelican Point picnic shelter; the visitor center address is not the race location.

Entry fees include park admission for the day, a post-run party, and one finisher's meal. Race-day provisions listed for participants include free hot dogs, chips, protein bars, non-alcoholic beer, bananas, and other refreshments. Alcoholic beer is available free for participants aged 21 and over with valid ID. Each registrant receives a gender-specific t-shirt, and finishers of the 10-mile event receive a finisher mug upon completion.

The event notes a partnership with Sneakers4Good; donating gently used or new athletic shoes generates a donation to the charity partner Growing Home. The race is listed as an official qualifier for BolderBoulder. Course maps and driving directions are provided by the organizer for the Bear Creek Lake Park location.
