Happy Camper Fun Run

Camp…Run…Have Fun!

Come out and explore the beautiful Trail System located at the Standley Lake Regional Park and Westminster Hills Open Space in Westminster, Colorado during the Happy Camper Endurance Run this June. Runners will have a fun time exploring 13.1 Miles of Scenic Trails at the Standley Lake Regional Park (South Course) which includes beautiful views of the Standley Lake, Colorado Front Range Mountains, Wildlife (i.e. Bald Eagles, Coyote, Prairie Dogs), and several miles of relaxing Shoreline Running.

The running adventure then spills over to the Westminster Hills Open Space (North Course) where Runners will explore another 13.1 Miles of trails bringing them fantastic views of the Front Range Mountains, W-I-D-E Open Space Running at it’s greatest with miles of views in all directions, and a web of connecting trails which will keep you on navigating toes. I almost forgot, the Westminster Hills Open Space Trail System is also home to the Westminster Hills Off-Leash Dog Park so Runners will be allowed to bring Fido along on their North Course 13.1 Mile Adventure!

The South Course combined with the North Course will create a 26.2 Mile Loop with about 1,531 Feet Elevation Gain with the Course High Point sitting at around 5,772 Feet Elevation and the Course Low Point at around 5,358 Feet. The South Course ranks Very Low as for technical terrain but the North Course in some sections has plenty of rocks you can roll your ankles on! Both Courses are Fast but if Mother Nature turns up the Summertime HEAT then lookout!! The South Course and the North Course are 99.9% Exposed with no Tree Coverage!

All runners will receive an Event Shirt at packet pickup with the Happy Camper Endurance Run logo. Runners will also receive a Finisher Award or 100 Mile Buckle after they run, walk, or crawl across the Finish Line! Special awards will be handed out to the first 3 Female and to the first 3 Male participants to run, walk, or crawl across the Finish Line in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each course distance.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, runner participation counts for the 2021 Happy Camper Endurance Run will be STRICTLY capped at… 50 Miler = 25 Runners 100 Miler = 25 Runners 150 Miler = 15 Runners

Campsites are available at the Standley Lake Regional Park campground along with very cool Tipi Rentals! The Campground is no more than a few 10ths of a Mile from the Happy Camper Fun Run Starting Line so spending a night under a warm Summer starry Colorado sky is a Runner’s best option! Runners will also be able to exit the South Course at two different trail locations to access their Campsites during the Fun Run Event.
