Ready to gallop around Denver with some friends? Yeah, you are! Come frolic with us at the Unicorn Runner 5k at Great Lawn Park to kick off your spring running season! You'll earn a sweet tee shirt and a flashy unicorn finisher medal!
It's a 5k distance for all, and whether you walk, trot, canter or gallop, we'll be happy to see you! This event also features a shorter saunter for those not quite ready to enjoy a full 5k! The untimed 1/2 mile run is long enough to get your heart rate up and be a 'real run' without being a sprint!
Remember to refer your friends and you can earn back up to $20 back from your registration fee (valid only on the 5k distance). Also - teams of 5 or more each get $5 off their registration. So form a group and get your buddies to join you today!

Denver is the capital of the western U.S. state of Colorado and the dominant city of the Rocky Mountain Region. Founded in 1858 as the placer gold mining camp known as the Cherry Creek Diggings, the "Mile-High City" is today the most populous city within a 560-mile (900 km) radius and the center of the Front Range Urban Corridor of more than five million residents. Denver embraces its cowboy and mining past but also looks toward the future with a vibrant arts and performing arts scene, dozens of great outdoor festivals, and distinct neighborhoods each offering a unique experience. You'll find everything a cosmopolitan city has to offer including a spectacular view of and easy access to the beautiful Rocky Mountains, which arise only 12 miles (19 km) west of the Colorado State Capitol.
