Girls on the Run Denver Metro 5K

Girls on the Run Denver Metro 5K takes place in Denver, Colorado, on November 15, 2026, at Empower Field at Mile High, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 10:00 AM. The event is about empowerment and community spirit, bringing together participants of all ages in support of young girls building confidence and a healthy lifestyle.

This is a 5K where the point is participation rather than the clock, so it suits families, first-time racers, and anyone running alongside a girl who has trained through the season. If you're supporting a young runner, aim to match her pace and keep the effort conversational; if you're running for yourself, it's a comfortable distance to complete after a few weeks of easy running two or three times a week. Denver sits at roughly a mile of elevation, so if you're visiting from lower ground, plan on an easier effort than you'd normally hold for 3.1 miles and leave a little time to acclimate before the 10:00 AM start.
