42nd Annual Klondike Rush

Wyoming’s oldest and finest 10K race.

In 1978, the Inaugural Klondike Rush set out on the now historic 10K course. In the years since the Klondike Rush has grown to include the 5K course and the Klondike Volks. Back for its 4th Annual ‘running’, the Klondike Volks is an event for those that are looking for less Rush and more stroll, giving them to chance to experience the historic 10K course at their own pace.

COVID-19 Information

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 42nd Annual Klondike Rush is limited to pre-race day registration. Participants are required to register online by July 31st. No day-of registrations will be taken in order to ease the process of adhering to Public Health Orders.

Social distancing practices will be in effect and participants are encouraged to wear masks or face shields before and after the race. The start of the race will be stagged to allow for additional social distancing. Participants are required to start with the division they registered for.

Water Bottles

Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles if they feel they will need water. The 5k will not have a water station. The 10k will have a single water station with single-use water bottles.
