Spend an hour Saturday morning on a 5K or 10K run through La Veta, located in the Cuchara Valley at the base of the Spanish Peaks!

The Spanish Peaks 5/10K takes place on a scenic course in La Veta, Colorado, running through the Grandote Peaks Golf Course. It starts on West Francisco St by the Francisco Fort Museum. The 5K is an out-and-back run - bring your dog for a bark and walk if you wish! The 10K is a second running of the 5K course.

The event is held in the shadow of the majestic Spanish Peaks (known as the Huajatollas or Wajatoyas), on the grounds of the Francisco Fort Museum.

Excess proceeds from the event will help fund youth activities organized by Two Peaks Fitness.
