Race Information

Beat the heat and treat yourself  at the Popsicle 5K/10K/Half Marathon—a sweet celebration of summer  miles and frozen rewards. Whether you’re racing the speedy 5K, cruising  through the 10K, or going the distance in the Half Marathon, this event  is designed to be fun, festive, and refreshingly cool from start to  finish.


We will be gathering at Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs, CO.


When you cross the finish line,  your reward is waiting: a delicious, ice-cold popsicle to help you chill  out and celebrate your accomplishment. Every finisher will also receive  a custom Popsicle-themed finisher medal—bright, bold, and worthy of  showing off.


Awards will be presented in all  three distances to the top three male and female finishers in standard  five-year age groups, beginning with 10 & Under. Whether you’re  chasing a podium spot or just looking for a cool way to log some summer  miles, the Popsicle 5K/10K/Half Marathon is the perfect blend of fun and fast.
