Event Overview

FRIDAY, JUNE 5

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.

All on-mountain aid stations at the GoPro Mountain Games are now 100% cupless as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. To help you stay hydrated, all participants will receive a free collapsible cup at the start line to use during all GoPro Mountain Games run events. Please plan ahead and be race-ready and help us keep the mountains clean!
