Early Bird Pricing through March 31!!  Cost is $20 for adults over age 19; $10 for kids aged 11 - 18 and free for kids 10 and under.  On April 1st the price will increase by $5.  All proceeds from the event will benefit the rescue horses who were saved from abusive and neglectful environments. Mile High Rescue's vision is to place each of these horses in loving and forever homes.  In addition, Mile High Rescue provides support to horse owners in need and ensure each placement is successful for both horse and owner. 

COVID Precautions - We will be following all state and local COVID-19 precautions. Which means the race will be at your leisure from 8 am - 1 pm.  Due to this open time frame it will allow the race to be run in waves and runners/walkers will have to wear a mask at all time while on the premises, but can lower the mask upon the start of the race. There will be hand sanitizing stations on site.   This will all be dependent on the COVID-19 dial on race day!
