Dear Gold Hill,

SUNDAY AUGUST 20th

After a 4-year absence due to the pandemic, we are excited to bring back the Sunset Trail Running Festival, which is a fundraising event for local fire mitigation led by the Boulder Watershed Collective and community partners. The Boulder Watershed Collective addresses forested watershed health, resiliency, and stewardship. Their mission is to cultivate partnerships, promote community stewardship, and revitalize social and ecological systems within the Boulder Creek Watershed and beyond.

The Trail Race will be staged on Sunday August 20th, with the following races:

8:00am 28K
9:00am 12K
9:00am 5K
10:00am 12 years & Under 1K 11:00am Presentations

We value the relationship that we have with you, and we have worked hard to minimize any impact that this event will have on Gold Hill.

  • Roads will NOT be closed, so cars and RTD Buses DO NOT need to be re-routed.
  • Event Parking will be encouraged for all participants from the Boulder. Buses have been provided fortravel to and from Gold Hill, to lessen this impact.
  • Marshals will be placed at intersections and along the course to safely guide and communicate withvehicles that will enter, pass through, or exit from within the race vicinity.
