All-Out Polar Prowl
The 14th annual All-Out Polar Prowl takes place on 01/09/2027 at the Stenger Sports Complex in Arvada, CO. The event offers both in-person and virtual race options.
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K
- 5K
- Virtual options for each distance
Races start at the Stenger parking lot and follow the Van Bibber Creek Trail. The half marathon is a two-lap double out-and-back route: after a right-hand turn to head west, runners reach a first turnaround at about 2.5 miles, continue an east out-and-back, then complete a second lap toward the finish.
The 10K uses a double out-and-back on the same trail with a similar westward first turnaround near 2.5 miles. The 5K follows a double out-and-back with the first turnaround at about 1 mile. Along the in-person courses there are specified fueling opportunities and restrooms: the half marathon has 10 fueling stations and 4 restrooms, the 10K has 5 fueling stations and 2 restrooms, and the 5K has 4 fueling stations and 1 restroom.
The layout includes a spectator viewing area a short walk from the venue where fans can see half marathoners three times and 5K or 10K athletes once before the finish. The event supports Penguins International and includes a penguin costume contest. Virtual participants receive race swag and a finisher medal shipped after the event, with series and championship credit as described.
