The 5K and 10K courses pass two lakes inside Washington Park. The 15K course runs parallel to Cherry Creek and includes views noted as scenic mountain views and local lakes such as Grasmere Lake and Smith Lake. The event uses a professionally managed course and professional timing; bibs must be visible on the front of the torso to receive an accurate time and access start corrals. Live runner tracking is available and high-resolution race photos and finish times are provided to participants after the race.
The race kit includes a full-zip fleece and a finisher's medal. A post-race party at Washington Park features music, vendors, hot chocolate, and a finisher's mug with chocolate fondue and dippables. An upgraded Ghirardelli Cocoa Club option provides a VIP area, Ghirardelli hot cocoa, a canvas tote with single-serve cocoa, a store credit, preferred corral placement, and other onsite upgrades.
Expo and packet pick-up take place Saturday, October 3, 2026, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the National Western Complex in Denver. Overall and age group awards are presented for the 5K, 10K, and 15K with cash and registration prizes for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
