How fast is it?

Slower than most Colorado 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 32:53, against 29:37 in a typical Colorado 5K, so times here run 11 percent slower.

  • 10K: About average for Colorado 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 53:37, against 55:16 in a typical Colorado 10K, so times here are about average.
  • Half Marathon: Faster than most Colorado half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:39:08, against 1:56:43 in a typical Colorado half marathon, so times here run 15 percent faster.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Around March 14 the day usually runs from 25°F at dawn to 54°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 9% of days. Cold snaps dip to 17°F and hot years reach 69°F.
