Westy Half & 5k

The Westy Half & 5k takes place on October 10, 2027, in Westminster, between Denver and Boulder. The half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) starts at 8:00 a.m., and the 5K follows an hour later at 9:00 a.m. The race belongs to a series of local events held in communities around Denver and Boulder, with a finisher medal for both distances and a choice of T-shirt at registration.

This kind of fall road race in an urban setting works well for a first half marathon or a personal best attempt after a summer training block. The shorter 5K serves as a tempo session or an introduction for beginners and families. One point worth planning for: the area sits at altitude, so runners coming from sea level may want to allow a few days to acclimatize.
