Race Course
Look forward to running the same great race under the Golden Welcome arch with the START and FINISH at Golden High School. (Same as 2023) This year's Golden Gallop will start at Golden High School and lead it's runners on 5k and 10k loops through downtown Golden and finish at GHS.
Both runners and walkers are welcome!! Jogging strollers are allowed and encouraged but we ask that you start at the back for the safety of the child, as well as, the other participants.
The Golden Gallop is again welcoming well behaved dogs this year, yay!
Runners with dogs or strollers must start at the back of the pack.
