Time to Paddy 5k/10k & Lucky 13.1 - Denver

Time to Paddy 5K/10K & Lucky 13.1 in Denver, Colorado, is a St. Patrick's Day themed race held in late February. Runners choose a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles) or a 1-mile run, all starting at 8:00 a.m. A kids' race is also part of the program.

Participants receive a personalized bib, a designer shirt and a medal. The event offers chip timing, live results, awards, a team competition and a post-race meal, along with youth pricing and a virtual option for people who cannot make it in person. Denver's altitude, about a mile above sea level, can make even an easy pace feel harder than it does at home, so runners coming from lower elevations should start conservatively and drink plenty of water. Late winter weather along the Front Range can swing from sunny to snowy.
