10K Races in Denver, Colorado

Every upcoming 10K around Denver, with start times, entry fees, finish-time stats from past editions, start-line maps, and the local run clubs to train with.

4 upcoming 10K races found · 4 with finish-time stats

Denver's 10K scene lives in the same parks where the city's runners spend their everyday miles. City Park, with its lake views and gentle circuits, isn't just a training ground - it's a race venue. November in Denver can bite with cold and thin air at a mile high, but the running community here treats that as part of the deal, not a deterrent.

All four races here land in November, so you're picking a weekend, not a season. Fields range from intimate to genuinely large, and every race offers both a 5K and a 10K on the same day, which makes it easy to rope in a friend who isn't quite ready to double the distance yet.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.

Common Questions About Running a 10K in Denver

How fast do people typically finish a 10K here?

Across the 4 RunSignup 10K editions with published results on RunSesh, walkers and charity entrants included, the median finish time is 1:00:34. The median winner crossed in 37:55, and the last finisher median was 1:27:59, so there's a wide spread and plenty of company across the whole range.

Will I be completely alone out there, or are these decent-sized races?

It depends which one you pick. Across the 4 races, the median 10K field size is 130 finishers - a manageable, friendly size. But if you want a livelier atmosphere, the Pumpkin Pie 5K/10K draws a field of 1,911 across its distances, while the Feet for Justice Run is a much quieter 177.

What does it cost to enter a Denver 10K, and should I register early?

Entry fees run from $30 to $45. Three of the four races already have a price increase scheduled, so registering early is the straightforward way to pay less. If you wait until closer to race day, expect to pay more at most of them.

Is there a running club I can train with before the race?

Denver has a strong club scene. Options include Rocky Mountain Road Runners, Colorado Harriers, Revolution Running, Denver Trail Runners, Runner's Edge of the Rockies, Colorado Columbines Women's Running Club, Runners Roost Central Park Run Club, and Denver Run Club - a solid range whether you prefer roads, trails, or a group that leans social.

Do these races give out shirts or medals?

All 4 races say they give a shirt. None of the 4 mention a finisher medal, though all 4 publish their giveaway details, so what you see is what's been confirmed - shirts are in, medals aren't listed.
