About this race

A COMMUNITY EVENT

The 9th Annual RiNo 5K + Larimer Mile presented by Altra returns this September as Denver's premier road run and walk, supporting Back on my Feet! Whether you're an experienced runner chasing a personal best or looking to enjoy a leisurely stroll with friends, our courses have something for everyone. Sign up for the 5K run/walk, the 1 mile run/walk or double up and participate in both distances. Both 5K and 1 mile road races take place on the morning of September 12th, through Denver's most vibrant neighborhood. Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and community celebration as we run and walk through the streets of the River North Art District, surrounded by stunning street art, with plenty of post run beer and supporting a great cause.
