Description

From the creators of the Waldo Waldo 5K:

The Gallop 5K
in the Garden of the Gods and Rock Ledge Ranch

Trot, Gallop or Stampede through one of the most beautiful national landmarks in Colorado. This family-friendly stick-horse 5K is an untimed, one-of-a-kind event. The spectacular, breathtaking experience through the Garden of the Gods is the official Colorado Adventure you won’t want to miss.

Each registered participant will receive an official stick-horse. Yes, a stick-horse! Imagine it! You get to gallop through the iconic Garden of the Gods with red sandstone formations to your side, the dramatic Colorado sky, magnificent Pikes Peak to the west, autumn in the air, and of course your trusty companion stick horse by your side.

The Gallop 5K in the Garden of the Gods is a great way for participants to get excited about Colorado Springs, nature, community, health and doing silly fun things. It’s a perfect way for families to connect on a beautiful Colorado day!

Go west, be silly, support local!

We highly encourage you to come dressed in costume!

Let's have some fun!
