About the race
The Erie Half & 5k is a road race event held in Erie, Colorado at Reliance Park (900 County Road 1.5, Erie, CO 80516). It is part of the Hometown Race Series, a set of three events held in outlying communities near the Denver and Boulder metro areas. The event offers measured, marked, and supported courses.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon
- 5k
All registrants receive a short sleeve, gender specific t-shirt. Every finisher in the 5k and Half Marathon receives a finisher medal. The Half Marathon is open to ages 14 and older. The event often features colorful hot air balloons visible in the early morning sky.
The race supports local charities. It hosts a food drive for Sister Carmen; participants who bring five nonperishable items on race day are entered in a race day raffle. Sister Carmen most needed items include canned beans, toiletries, rice and gluten free grains, pastas, cereals, and crackers. The event also partners with Sneakers4Funds to collect gently used or new athletic shoes; donations benefit Growing Home. Shoe donations are accepted at advanced packet pickup or on race day.
