Wheat Ridge Half Marathon

The Wheat Ridge Half Marathon & 5k

The Wheat Ridge event on September 6, 2026 starts and finishes at Prost Brewing Wheat Ridge at Clear Creek Crossing in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The course follows the Clear Creek Trail in an out-and-back layout, first to the east (about 11.2 miles round trip) and then to the west to finish. The route features a net elevation change of about 700 ft and a final mile that runs downhill. Aid stations are placed roughly every 2 to 2.5 miles; carrying a personal water bottle or hydration pack is permitted and refill stations are available. Toilets are provided at multiple points on course and at the start and finish area. Packet pick-up takes place at Prost Brewing on race morning. A bag check will be available for participants.

Distances offered:

• Half marathon (chip timed, open to runners 14 and older)
• 5k fun run (untimed, dogs and strollers welcome; children under 12 run free in the 5k)

All participants receive a finisher medal. Half marathon registrants receive a short sleeve unisex tech shirt and 5k registrants receive a regular unisex T shirt if registered by August 20; shirt sizes and availability are not guaranteed after that date. Post race activities at the brewery include live music, food trucks, local vendors, giveaways, and free Prost Brewing beer for participants 21 and older.
