Run, bike, walk, skip or mosey your way to fun and celebrate 35 years of open space in Westminster!

This Open Space Virtual Race, happening between July 5 and Sept. 7, allows participants to get out and explore Westminster trails at your own pace. All you have to do is log 35 miles in that time - you can do it all in one day or one mile a day, or anything in between!

Entry is $35 per person and each participant receives a T-shirt and a patch! 

Proceeds will benefit the Westminster Legacy Foundation and go to Growing Home to help address food insecurity caused by COVID-19.
