About the Denver Mother's Day 5K
The course runs through City Park, which gives it tree-lined paths and open green space for most of the route. It is flat enough that strollers are a common sight, and pets are welcome too, so the start line has a different energy than most road races. Walkers start toward the back, and the field sorts itself out quickly.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a Fleet Feet location in Denver, which keeps race-morning lines shorter. If you skip that, bib pickup opens well before the start at the course. Parking options include a school lot nearby and street parking south of the park, with a reminder to avoid the zoo and museum lots.

The Denver Mother's Day 5K has been held every year since at least 2018. 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.
