Event Overview

FRIDAY, JUNE 6

If you’re the kind of person who gets antsy watching the action from the sidelines, the adidas Terrex Après 5K Trail Run is a great way to get involved and burn some calories over the weekend. It’s a 5K that isn’t a backbreaker, but it’s not for couch potatoes either.

RETURNING for 2025!
We are continuing to work on reducing waste at the GoPro Mountain Games so all on-mountain Aid Stations will be cupless for 2025. As part of our continued focus on sustainability, participants will receive a free collapsible cup at the race start that can be used at all Mountain Games run events. All athletes should be aware of this change and come prepared for all races.
