The Westy Half & 5k is a fall running event in Westminster, Colorado, located at 10600 Westminster Boulevard. It features two distances: a half marathon for those seeking a longer morning run, and a 5k for participants preferring a shorter race. The event is part of the Hometown Race Series, which organizes half marathons and 5k races in communities outside the primary Denver and Boulder metro regions. A notable aspect is the 5k medal policy: all 5k finishers receive a medal, a practice that remains infrequent for this race distance.

Half marathon finishers are awarded a mug.

Run Denver 'Mile High City' 5K/10K/13.1 is a local Denver running event offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances, taking place in late November. It functions more like a supported group run than a large race: each wave is limited to approximately 15 to 20 participants, both runners and walkers are accepted, and timing chips are not used. The atmosphere is intentionally relaxed. Bibs are distributed on race day, participant gifts are mailed out, and organizers can record times by bib number upon request. Waves begin in the morning and are filled sequentially, with a waitlist or virtual run offered once capacity is reached. Participants receive a shirt, medal, and entry into a virtual runner community; the virtual option also includes text-based coaching support prior to the run.

The race features a bee mascot named Buzzby, benefits the People and Pollinators Action Network, and offers a chance for participants to qualify for a BOLDERBoulder starting wave.

Le Colorado Marathon, c'est une course sur route à Fort Collins qui a lieu généralement le premier week-end de mai. Il y a un marathon complet, un half marathon, un 10K, un 5K, et même une course pour les enfants. Le marathon complet part tôt le matin et attire des milliers de coureurs. Ça va des locaux qui font les distances plus courtes jusqu'aux marathoniens qui visent un record perso ou une qualif pour le Boston Marathon. Le parcours du marathon suit le Poudre River Canyon sur la majeure partie de sa distance avant de rentrer dans les espaces naturels de Fort Collins et de finir en ville. Ce parcours majoritairement en descente, c'est un gros plus. D'ailleurs, les quatre premières années, 18% des participants ont réussi un temps de qualification pour le Boston Marathon. À l'origine, ça s'appelait le Fort Collins Old Town Marathon. L'événement garde un esprit local grâce aux dossards solidaires. Ces dossards sont plus chers, et les bénéfices vont à des associations caritatives locales.
