About the Amigo Man 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk
The course runs through McKelligon Canyon, a rocky canyon on the edge of the mountains at the city's outskirts. The terrain is natural and rugged rather than a flat road loop, and the canyon walls give the whole thing a setting you do not expect from a city race. Pets are welcome on the course, which gives the field a character all its own.
Packet pickup runs across several days before the race at a visitor center downtown, with no race-morning option, so plan ahead. After the race, the canyon amphitheater fills out with food trucks and vendors, and there is a yoga session on the grounds.

The Amigo Man 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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 Oct 25, 2026.
