Golden, CO
Parent Run Club
A run club with childcare!
Run with Us
We are a group of sleep-deprived moms and dads who meet regularly to run, walk, and hike the trails around beautiful Golden, CO. While we run, our kids play together thanks to our amazing, experienced babysitters.
All paces are welcome. We map out 4-5 mile routes on trails and bike paths, offer pace groups, and stop at trail junctions to make sure every runner is included.
Childcare
We know that getting a workout in is hard as a parent and finding quality childcare is even harder. Each of our sitters has been vetted to ensure that your child is in good hands during your run.

FAQs
How old does my kid need to be for childcare?
Our sitters watch kiddos ages 6 months and older. Our sitters have experience with a variety of ages and will take great care of your kiddo. If you have any special instructions, please let us know when you sign up for childcare.
If your kiddo is too young for childcare, you can join our Baby + Me hike group for new parents and expecting moms! This group hikes a shortened route at the same time as the runners.
What is the sitter to child ratio?
We maintain a 4:1 ratio. If we have 12 kids then we will have 3 sitters.
How much is childcare?
$20 a kid and $15 for additional kids. 1 Kid $20, 2 Kids $35, 3 Kids $50
How do you find the sitters?
We have a great group of sitters in the community that have either reached out to us wanting to help or have babysat for a Parent Run Club family. We always have a CPR certified sitter on site watching the kids.
Can I join if I don’t bring my kid to childcare?
Yes, we would love for you to join even if you don’t utilize childcare. If you are a parent looking to build community and connect with other parents then you are in the right place!
How fast do you run?
We are a fun and social run club. All paces are welcome and we will stop at trail junctions to make sure everyone is on the route. We have pace groups 9:00 to 10:30 and 10:30 to 13:30+. We run on the trails so paces will vary and at times we will walk if the terrain is steep.
We also have a Baby + Me hike group for new parents and expecting moms! This group hikes a shortened route at the same time as the runners.
Can I bring my dog?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join us for runs, though they aren’t always allowed in the local businesses where we host childcare.
Where do you run?
We run from a variety of local Golden businesses that host Parent Run Club. We run on the trails and paths around Golden including South Table Mountain, North Table Mountain, and Clear Creek. We are lucky to live in such an amazing place full of beautiful trails and endless run routes.
