Candy Cane Runs 2026
Candy Cane Runs takes place at Promenade Park by the Westin Hotel in Westminster, Colorado. The event uses the park paths for both start and finish and includes a stage area for music and awards as well as parking nearby.
The event offers measured courses on paved park paths. The 5k follows a west-facing loop and returns to the finish; it is described as flat and suitable for strollers and young children. The 10k follows the same initial loop as the 5k then adds an eastbound out-and-back segment to reach the full distance. The 10k includes an additional water stop at the turnaround; the 5k has one aid station.

Finish-line amenities and participant items are emphasized.

The finish area offers hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cider, snacks, cookies, and donuts. There is an adults-only beverage area.
Additional features include a free Yoga SIX session voucher valid at the Lafayette/Erie location for runners with a bib, and a course game where hidden elves can be carried to the finish to win prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
