Course Description

This fierce 4-mile race winds through the foothills of the Rockies in Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, CO. Racers will conquer unique challenges such as hill climbs, river crossings, cargo net crawls and more!

Further information on the course and a course map will be posted soon.

Goodie Bag

All participants will receive a top-notch goodie bag! First off, the goodie bag itself is made of recycled, biodegradable materials to keep our planet healthy. Inside, participants will find a "Release the Beast" technical race shirt, something from Timberland Mountain Athletics that will come in handy in the dark and a reusable stainless steel water bottle from Gore. Because we want to keep some element of surprise (come on, we all know goodie bags are like Christmas for adults, and what fun is Christmas without some element of suspense!), we're keeping the rest of the contents a secret, but there will be other goodies provided by Smartwool, Dick's Sporting Goods and Clif Bar, too!

RUN WILD Twilight Post-Race Party

After Crossing the finish line, stick around Bear Creek Lake Park for the RUN WILD Twilight Post-Race Party. Enjoy delicious food provided by Wahoo's, ice cold Red Hook Ale, live music, and the company of friends.

The post-race party will feature the tunes of Denver- based rock trio Something Underground. Click here to check out the band's tunes before experiencing the real deal live on September 26.

Awards

The top 3 female and top three male finishers will receive prize packs, courtesy of Timberland Mountain Athletics and Dick's Sporting Goods, presented at the Twilight Post-Race Party. (Read: complimentary shoes from the Timberland's new Mountain Athletics line!)
