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.

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 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.

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.
