About the Denver 5K

The Denver 5K delivers Rocky Mountain challenge at the Mile High City in a more accessible format. Runners navigate through Colorado's capital at 1,609 meters elevation with continuous mountain views. May's variable spring creates unpredictable racing conditions as participants experience both historic districts and contemporary urban areas. The moderately challenging course features altitude challenge while providing continuous Front Range scenery yet remaining achievable within the shorter distance. Colorado spectators create an atmosphere of outdoor enthusiasm as participants flow through streets representing America's fittest state. This significant race captures Denver's distinctive character—geographically elevated yet culturally accessible—offering a quintessential Mountain West running experience without requiring elite altitude endurance.
