Gallopin’ for Glory at the Giddy Up Ranch Run

It’s time to round up yer kinfolk, neighbors, and runnin’ buddies for one rip-roarin’ day at the Giddy Up 5K / 5-Miler Ranch Run! Mark them calendars for October 19th, 2025 and make tracks to Pole Creek Ranch. This here ain’t just any ol’ trot—it’s a gallop through private country roads with the Three Sisters Mountains watchin’ over ya. Trust me, you won’t wanna miss this ride.

Got yourself a posse of six or more? Form up a team and knock $5 off each rider’s entry fee. But you best be quick—only 200 slots in the corral, and they’re gonna fill up faster than a saloon on Saturday night.

What’s Cookin’ at This Shindig

Now listen here—this ain’t just about crossin’ a finish line. Once yer boots hit that line, stick around for our famous finish-line hoedown at the Secret Corral. We’re talkin’:

  • Live pickin’ and strummin’
  • Lawn games for young’uns and grown-ups alike
  • Good grub and cold drinks
  • A heap o’ swag
  • A rootin’-tootin’ costume contest

And yep—there’s even a free kids’ run for the little cowpokes!

Yer Registration Gets Ya:

  • Custom race bib & shiny finisher medal
  • One fine-lookin’ race shirt
  • A gallop through some of the prettiest ranch land in the West
  • One cold brew, seltzer, or sparkling water
  • Entry to the best dang party this side of the Cascades

So bring along a lawn chair, kick off them runnin’ shoes, and enjoy the music while soakin’ up the ranch life
