From the Organizer

Is it spring—or does winter still have one last surprise waiting for us? There’s only one way to find out! Join us at the end of March for the Central Park 5K and celebrate the changing season with a run or walk through Denver’s Central Park neighborhood.

The flat, fast course welcomes participants of every pace and ability. Chase a new personal best, enjoy a comfortable walk with friends or bring the whole family out to shake off the winter cabin fever. After you finish, visit our Kite Station to decorate your own kite and send it soaring over Central Park’s wide-open fields!

Everything you need to plan your race day—including packet pickup, the race-day schedule, course information and more—is available under the Race Info menu above.
