Lace up your sneakers and leash up your pup for the ultimate high-altitude adventure!
Join us in Allenspark, Colorado, at 8,504 feet for the annual Run Like the Wind 5K, Walk Like the Breeze 2K, and our beloved Dog Jog. This isn’t just any race—it’s a scenic journey through pine-scented trails and breathtaking mountain vistas, where both two-legged and four-legged participants are celebrated. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying a leisurely walk with your furry friend, this event promises fun, fresh air, and unforgettable memories. Plus, every wagging tail and smiling face supports The Old Gallery’s mission to enrich our mountain community. 
 
Stick around for the post-race Tail-Wagging Dog Show. $5 entry fee (dogs who participate in the run/walk get this fee waived). Sign-up for contest categories at the race registration table which include Waggiest Tail, Best Stay, Best Rescue Story, Best Trick, Best Look-alike (with owner), Fastest Peanut Butter Licker. Prizes awarded to the winner of each category

“Just wanted to say a heartfelt ‘thanks’ for all of your hard work on the Run Like the Wind! This is one of my favorites and I aways look forward to it, partly because it’s a fun course but especially because it is so well organized and supported. You do a truly fantastic job. Since I see many of the same people every year, I’m sure everyone else feels the same way! See you next year, and thank you again. -C”
