Palmer Lake July Fun Run
About this race
Welcome to the 44th Annual July 4th Fun Run, presented by Black Hills Energy—Palmer Lake Elementary School’s largest and longest-running fundraiser! Sign up early for the best pricing and secure your spot as we celebrate our country’s 250th and our state’s 150th anniversaries.
The course runs from the south end of Palmer Lake to Monument via the Santa Fe Trail. Run, jog, walk, skip, or parade along the route while enjoying beautiful views of the front range, encouraging signs and an all around good time. Did we mention the trail is a slight downhill, too?!? Each registration fee goes toward supporting students and teachers at Palmer Lake Elementary.
