Elizabeth Main Street 5K Run/Walk & Family Color Run August 29, 2026 · Elizabeth, Colorado
Join us for a community celebration in the heart of Elizabeth! Our 5K Run/Walk winds through historic Main Street and surrounding parks on a course with both paved and dirt terrain. From competitive runners to families with strollers, everyone's welcome. An hour after the 5K, the Family Color Run kicks off for a fun, untimed romp through color stations the whole family can enjoy. After the race, stick around for pancakes, a cold beer, and shopping along Main Street. And don't miss the Elizabeth Backyard BBQ Showdown in Running Creek Park starting at noon that same day!
