Donut Dash 5K - Denver

Donut Dash 5K - Denver is held in Denver, Colorado, on April 4, 2027, starting at 9:00 a.m. The event offers a single 5K (3.1 miles) on a flat, fast course open to runners and walkers of every fitness level, and donuts wait for you at the finish line as the reward for the effort.

Flat and short means this is a good place to see what your current 5K fitness looks like, whether that is your first attempt at the distance or a spring check on your speed. A few weeks of regular easy running with one faster workout a week will get you ready. One thing to plan for: Denver sits at altitude, so if you are travelling in from sea level, expect your breathing to feel harder at the same pace, and pick an effort you can hold rather than a target time.
