About the Tiger Prowl 5K

The Tiger Prowl 5K runs through the neighborhood roads around Lakewood High School, where tree cover keeps things comfortable. The course is road throughout, without significant climbing. It is a school foundation fundraiser, so the entry fee goes directly to student programs at the school, covering theater, athletics, music groups, and extracurricular clubs.

Bib pickup happens at the high school in the days before the race, with a race-morning option as well. Parking is on school grounds, in the lots on either side of the building. The start is right there at the school.

Common Questions About the Tiger Prowl 5K

Will I finish last at the Tiger Prowl 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 47:27, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Tiger Prowl 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 478 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Tiger Prowl 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:01 while the median finisher took 47:27. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Tiger Prowl 5K?

Join a local run club. Rocky Mountain Road Runners, Colorado Harriers, Revolution Running and others in Denver welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
