FAQ

5K Route

This scenic 5K route takes you on a tour of City Park, going around Ferril Lake, next to the Denver Zoo, Martin Luther King Memorial, and showcasing great views of the City Park Pavilion and foothill mountains. Both routes will end where they began, where participants can enjoy the Vendor/Expo Area after the race. On this completely paved route, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll or a fast-paced USATF-certified race!

10K Route

Our 10K route is double the fun of the 5K – because it’s a simple 2-lap course! Enjoy the twice-as-nice views of Duck Lake, Ferril Lake, Denver Zoo, Martin Luther King Memorial, and the City Park Pavilion. After your first lap, the second will be a breeze since you’ll know exactly what’s coming! Enjoy a leisurely stroll or a fast-paced USATF-certified race. Both routes will end where they began, where participants can enjoy the Vendor/Expo Area after the race.
