This is a unique trail running experience designed for the entire family that cannot be matched.
With 7 races for all abilities there is something for everyone.  Whether you are a kid who just likes being outdoors (where they belong), someone just trying out your first trail race, a speed goat that loves hammering until your legs give out or an ultra runner that wants to see just how far your body & spirit can go, we have a race for you.

With 3 different hotels & condos fitting every budget, an indoor water park, ice rink, climbing wall, arcade, movie theater, several restaurants and more…..there is plenty to do with the family in between races.
All registrants get a hotel discount code, so come, stay & #runJAYPEAK!

Run All Three 5k’s!

Why just run one 5k? You are here all day anyway. 

   

 That’s correct.  We have designed our 5K series so that you can run all 3 in one day. 

For doing so, we will give you our coveted “I ran THREE 5k’s in ONE day” prize after completing all 3…..also known as our “Runners with Issues” prizes.  Because if running 3 races in one day is appealing to you…then you have a screw loose….& you are our kind of human. 
LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH 5K HERE

How it works:
  1. Sign up for All 3 Races HERE.  
    1. We offer a discount for signing up for all 3 at once.  You can add them on race day, but just commit now and save the $$.  
  2. Show up and pick up your bib and any swag you bought. 
  3. Get to the start line by 8:30 for your first race.
  4. Get to the finish line by 9:30 for your second race
    1. If it takes you more than an hour, no worries, just let the timer or RD know and we will make sure your time is counted for both. 
  5. Get to the finish line by 10:30 to start your 3rd race.
  6. Finish your 3rd race like a warrior
  7. Go inside and collect your “I ran all 3 races” award.
