About our race.
Entering its 6th year, the Stepping Stone 5K is a favorite for serious and not-so-serious runners alike. The course is fast, flat and sure to score you that Bolder Boulder qualifying time if that’s your goal. If not, no problem! You can enjoy a nice run on a paved path with an untimed shortcut for those who simply want to support two very worthy causes.
We offer overall and age group awards and a fun post-race celebration making this a must-attend event for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.
