Created to showcase Palmer Park’s rocky bluffs and big views of the city and Pikes Peak, Bobcat sends runners onto technical singletrack and desert-style rollers right in the heart of Colorado Springs. The 2025 race offers four distances—50K, 25K, 10K, and 5K—with a central start/finish at Palmer Park for easy logistics and cheering. Now organized by Aravaipa Running, the event keeps a friendly vibe with pro timing and clear course marking while preserving that wild, in-town trail feel. Mark your calendar for October 18, 2025 and expect punchy climbs, scenic ridgelines, and quick stretches through the park’s sandstone formations.
