Heatwave Half Marathon - Colorado Springs 2026

The Heatwave Half Marathon is a summer running event held at Goose Gossage Park in Colorado Springs. Participants can choose from a half marathon, half-marathon relay, 10K, 5K, an untimed 1 mile, a Kids Dash, a Volunteer Then Run option, and a virtual race for those preferring to run on their own schedule and location. The event caters to families and distance runners alike. The Kids Dash is untimed, for children 10 and under, and includes a mini bib, youth shirt, and medal for registered participants. Children can also run it free on race day without the swag. The main timed races feature chip timing with live results and awards. Half marathon, 10K, and 5K entries come with a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal. Free race photos and ice cream at the finish contribute to a relaxed summer race atmosphere, distinct from a purely competitive event.
