Candy Cane Runs 2026 - Westminster, Colorado
Candy Cane Runs takes place at Promenade Park, across the street from the Westin Hotel in Westminster. The event uses the park paths for start and finish operations and includes a stage area for music and awards. The venue address is 10600 Westminster Boulevard, Westminster CO 80020, and there is parking available near the park.
Courses are described as flat and fast. About 20 percent of the route is on trail path. The 5k follows a westward loop and returns on the park paths, suitable for strollers and young children. The 10k covers the same initial loop as the 5k and then adds an eastbound out-and-back segment, with an extra water stop at the turnaround. The kids event is a 1 mile fun run for ages three to twelve.
Participants receive a range of finish-line items and partner offers. Examples listed for 2026 include a collector race bib with pull tags for finish gifts, running gloves, a runners buff, a finisher medallion that converts into a tree ornament, and a finisher mug. The finish area provides hot beverages including coffee, cocoa, tea and cider, plus hot food, cookies and donuts. Additional items noted are a free gym day at a local conditioning gym and a free yoga class offer for runners. The course also features a scavenger element where hidden elf figures on the course can be brought to the finish for prize awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
