Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Colorado Springs

Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Colorado Springs runs in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on November 15, 2026. The 5K, the 10K and the half marathon (13.1 miles) all start at 8:00 a.m., which puts every runner on the road at the same time regardless of the distance chosen.

These are road distances, and the choice mostly comes down to how your fall has gone. A half marathon at the end of a 14- to 16-week block, with the long run built to about 11 miles, is a solid season closer. The 10K suits runners with a decent base who want a hard effort without a dedicated build, and the 5K is the entry point for anyone in their first months of running. Whichever you pick, take the opening mile a little slower than feels natural with a mass start.
