Starlight Spectacular

Starlight Spectacular

Presented by Trails and Open Space Coalition at Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center

The Starlight Spectacular is back!

Join us for a unique nighttime experience in Garden of the Gods.

This event is open to cyclists, including e-bikes, runners and walkers.

The runners/walkers have a special 5k route following Juniper Way through the Garden of the Gods on a closed course.

The bikes have a course that is 7 miles and includes riding through the Garden of the Gods and through the nearby historic neighborhood (open course).

This is a truly spectacular event under the stars, where participants put on their favorite glow in the dark gear, light up their bikes, and ride or run into the beautiful Colorado night in the Garden of the Gods.

This year’s theme is Space Fantasy!

Along the way you’ll find “rest stops”, and other random entertainment. A truly one-of-a-kind experience!
