The Most Eggcellent 10K, 5K, and Easter Egg Hunt occurs on Easter weekend on the Saturday immediately before Easter. The foot races travel throughout the west side of Buena Vista, offering beautiful views of Mount Princeton on both courses. The Easter Egg Hunt is for kids ages 0 - 5th grade, and it's a flurry of activity to see how many eggs can be collected!
Registration is completed online, even on race day. Cards only. Registration may close early if participants caps are met.
