Recurring 10K races near Fort Collins-Loveland
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Lafayette Music Fest -5K - 10K
The Lafayette Music Fest 5K/10K is a run-or-walk race held alongside a live-music festival in Lafayette, Colorado. Participants can choose between a 5K and a 10K. Rock for the People, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, organizes the event as part of its mission to foster a more inclusive local music community by providing free and low-cost rehearsal and recording access.
Both courses utilize the Coal Creek Trail in Boulder County and are designed as out-and-back routes for simplicity. The 10K features four aid stations approximately 1 to 1.5 miles apart, offering salty and sweet snacks, water, and electrolyte drinks. The 5K includes two aid stations with drinks and a limited snack selection. Awards are presented to the top three female and male finishers in each age group, ranging from 10-20 to 70+. The finish area offers a festival atmosphere with donuts, live music performances, and opportunities to enjoy the musical aspect of the event.
Louisville Trail Race
The Louisville Trail Race offers half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances on dirt trails near Louisville Community Park in Louisville, Colorado. It provides a Front Range trail running experience, allowing both experienced and newer trail runners to select a course suited to their abilities.
The routes are predominantly flat and dirt, utilizing an out-and-back structure on trails surrounding the park. A challenging hill near the finish offers views of the Flatirons and Front Range mountains. This event, now in its second decade, maintains a family-friendly atmosphere with post-race activities encouraging participants to bring guests.
Broomfield Turkey Day 5K/10K
The Broomfield Turkey Day 5K/10K is a Thanksgiving Day race in Broomfield, Colorado, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The 10K is presented as Colorado's sole Thanksgiving Day 10K, and the 5K provides a shorter option for families and casual runners to begin the holiday. Both runners and walkers are welcome, and the event focuses on the Thanksgiving gathering aspect rather than solely as a competitive race.
Registration includes a finisher medal, with options for youth and team pricing. The race also gathers food for Broomfield FISH; participants who bring five donation items on race day are entered into a raffle for prizes from 3W Races and sponsors. The organizer views the event as a family Thanksgiving tradition, aligning with the mix of runners, walkers, children, teams, and individuals primarily participating to earn their holiday meal.
Toy Drop
At Toy Drop, runners bring a new, unwrapped toy to the start line before choosing a 5K, 10K, or 15K in Loveland, Colorado. The race is held around Christmas time, starts and finishes at Berthoud Brewing, and also offers virtual versions of the same three distances. The 5K and 15K start at 9 a.m., with the 10K following five minutes later.
The route uses Loveland city roads and bike paths, including parts of town the organizers say they had not highlighted before this race. The toy donation and race proceeds support Realities for Children, a Larimer County organization serving children who have suffered abuse, neglect, homelessness, or other at-risk situations. Realities for Children provides emergency funds, necessary items, activities, and outreach through partner agencies, and its model is backed by more than 250 local business members.
Candy Cane Course - Denver
The Candy Cane Course in Denver is a Christmas-themed run held each December. Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, 15K, an untimed 1 Mile, or a Kids Dash. The 5K, 10K, and 15K races are chip-timed with live results and awards. The shorter family events offer a simpler format for walkers, younger runners, and those preferring an untimed run.
The event includes several holiday-themed extras. The 5K, 10K, and 15K registrations come with a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. Runners also receive complimentary photos and treats at the finish line. The event caters to families with youth pricing for the 5K and 10K, a Kids Dash for children aged 10 and under, youth-sized merchandise for registered dash participants, and a free option for kids who wish to run without merchandise.
Lucky Brew Race 5K, 10K, 15k & Half Marathon
Lucky Brew is a St. Patrick’s-themed race day on the Great Western Trail in Severance, Colorado, offering 5K, 10K, 15K, half marathon, and Kids Fun Run options. All distances start and finish at Severance Community Park, accommodating runners seeking an early-season test and families attending the shorter kids’ event.
The 5K follows a 0.6-mile loop within Severance Park, while longer races extend beyond the park onto the trail. Finishers receive chip timing, photos, and a performance shirt. The post-race meal includes corned beef, cabbage, coffee, energy drinks, beer, seltzer, non-alcoholic drinks, and green beer from Peculier Brewing Company. Overall winners get custom clay mugs, age-group leaders receive gift cards, and half marathon finishers are awarded a medal. The event benefits the Great Western Trail Foundation and other local nonprofits, and it is one of four run.Windsor races qualifying for BOLDERBoulder.
All-Out Beat the Heat
All-Out Beat the Heat takes place in Westminster, Colorado, on the Big Dry Creek Trail near Standley Lake, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. This is the 15th year for the event, organized by All-Out Multicourse. It also functions as an official BOLDERBoulder qualifier, allowing runners aiming for a seeded start to achieve a qualifying time here.
Each distance follows Big Dry Creek Trail southwest. The course is described by the organizer as having moderate terrain, neither excessively hilly nor completely flat. Half marathon participants experience the longest course, with sights of Standley Lake, the Front Range, and the Flatirons in the distance. The race benefits Adaptive Adventures, provides virtual 10K and half marathon options, and is part of All-Out’s Endless Series, alongside Fallfest.
The Colorado Marathon
The Colorado Marathon is a road race in Fort Collins, typically held on the first weekend of May. It includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a children's run. The full marathon begins early, attracting thousands of participants, ranging from local residents running shorter distances to marathoners aiming for a personal best or a Boston Marathon qualification.
The marathon route follows the Poudre River Canyon for most of its distance before entering Fort Collins' natural areas and concluding in the city. This predominantly downhill course is a significant draw; in its initial four years, 18% of participants achieved a Boston Marathon qualifying time. Originally named the Fort Collins Old Town Marathon, the event maintains a local focus through charity entries, which are priced higher with proceeds directed to local charitable organizations.
Colorado Women's Classic - Westminster
The Colorado Women's Classic begins and ends at Westminster Promenade Terrace in Westminster. The Mother's Day morning races are designed for women, families, and training partners. Participants can select a 10-miler, 10k, or 5k race. A free 100-yard Kids Fun Run is available for children aged 3 to 7. While the event welcomes all genders, it centers on women running with friends, sisters, mothers, daughters, and granddaughters. Starts are staggered throughout the morning, beginning with the children, followed by the 10-miler, 10k, and 5k races.
The course primarily follows the Big Dry Creek Trail, utilizing concrete paths, some hard-packed gravel sections, and a few wooden footbridges that may become slick when wet. Strollers and well-trained leashed dogs are permitted, contributing to a more relaxed community atmosphere compared to events exclusively for runners. The 10-mile course includes four aid stations, and timing is managed via chips on race bibs. All finishers receive a fresh flower, 10-miler finishers are awarded a medal, photo downloads are complimentary, the finish line is cup-free, and the race proceeds regardless of weather conditions.
Colorado 13er (Half Marathon/10k/5k)
The Colorado 13er begins at the Home Depot on Dillon Road in Louisville, Colorado, offering a 13.1-mile half marathon, a 10k, and a 5k on the same race morning. The half marathon starts at 6:30 AM MDT, with the 10k and 5k following at 6:40 AM MDT. Runners aged 14 and older are eligible to participate.
The half marathon follows a loop through Louisville, featuring views of the Flatirons. Nine miles of the course consist of flat, crushed gravel, positioning it between trail running and road racing, distinct from a pure pavement event. The 13.1-mile course includes 10 water station stops and 5 portable toilet stops. All race distances are mechanically measured. Half marathon finishers will receive a 13.1 medal, and approximately 30 percent of participants report this as their first race.

About 10K races in Fort Collins-Loveland
Fort Collins-Loveland Training Notes
Fort Collins-Loveland hosts 25 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Fort Collins-Loveland from river path to foothill dirt. The Poudre River Trail gives runners 21 miles of paved path, and it often carries crushed gravel alongside it. 7 paved miles and meets the Poudre when base miles need to stay smooth. Spring Canyon Park has it all, with lines toward Pineridge natural area, Maxwell Natural Area, and Horsetooth. The route to Horsetooth covers 8 miles with a 656-foot incline. Fort Collins Running Club has kept the scene moving since 1971. Choice City Running Festival and Blue Sky Trail Marathon & Half Marathon sit on the local calendar.
Locals ride from Old Town Fort Collins toward foothills, prairie, gravel, and brewery laps. Fort Collins Cycling Club keeps the group-ride rhythm with A, B, C, and D pace categories plus Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday rides. The route covers 6 km and 457 m of climbing as it swings around the southern end of Horsetooth Reservoir Overlook, rolls on to Masonville, descends into Loveland, and comes back by Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area. Fort Collins Northern Expanse Loop mixes 55% gravel with 45% pavement and dirt roads. Blue Sky Trail connects west of Horsetooth Reservoir toward Devil’s Backbone. Spring Dirt Pile Short Track at New Belgium Brewing brings the crit energy on dirt.
Spring and fall give runners and cyclists the cleanest training window here. The scorching heat of summer has given way in fall, and the chill of winter has yet to arrive. Fort Collins Cycling Club makes summer social with dinner rides in May, June, July, and August, while runners keep to shaded Poudre River Trail miles or move workouts earlier. Northern Colorado can feel windy and bright in exposed areas, so Z2 days need a little patience. Winter changes the rhythm more than the identity. The foothills near Fort Collins stay rideable much of the winter, and runners still have paved paths when singletrack needs time.
