Game Day 5K Run!

Let's go for a fun run on the morning before the Super Bowl starts! I've heard good things about this 5K race and am looking forward to trying it. There's a half-marathon course as well for those who want to run some extra distance, but the 5K is enough for me on this one! This is a fairly flat and easy course, so if you've never ran or walked a 5K this would be a great first one to try!

Registration gets you a cool bottle-opener finisher medal and an optional shirt if you pay an extra $8. The race ends at Jack Quinn's Pub, where we can enjoy post-race drink & food if anyone would like. It'll be nice to get outside for a good run and feel less guilty about sitting in front of the television eating hot-wing-stuffed-pizza-nachos all evening! ;)

I'll post in the comments where we can meet up by the starting line on race day morning. Hope to see you there!

From the website:
"The streets and trails of downtown Colorado Springs are not exactly the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field," but on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, more than 1,500 runners will race for paydirt there in the 14th Toyota Super Half Marathon & Game Day 5K.

This is Colorado Springs' Super Sunday Tradition! We have a flat and fast race course, indoor packet pick-up at Plaza of the Rockies, and a great post-race party and awards at Jack Quinn's Irish Pub!

This race supports the Pikes Peak Road Runners, celebrating 50 years of supporting running, racing and healthful living in the Pikes Peak Region.
