Sharin' O' The Green 5k

Sharin' O' The Green 5k takes place in Fort Collins, Colorado, on March 13, 2027. The program is a single 5k Run/Walk over 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 AM.

Altitude is the variable to plan for here. Fort Collins sits high enough that a 5K run hard feels a notch tougher than the same effort at sea level, so if you are traveling in, expect breathing to be the limiter and adjust your goal pace rather than fighting it in the first mile. Locals will not notice. Either way, the preparation is modest: four to six weeks of consistent running, one weekly session at 5K effort, and an easy day before the race. Walkers and run-walkers have the same 3.1 miles available, which makes it a workable outing for a family or a running group.
