Superior, Colorado

Join us on Saturday December 14th for a fun and festive, family-friendly 5K run and walk in the town of Superior - conveniently located off Highway 36 between Denver and Boulder. Get a head start on the holiday season with the Stocking Run!!!

NEW THIS YEAR: We will be moving to a new location on Main Street in Superior! The race will kick off the Superior Winter Festival, with a day of fun for the whole family! More details will be announced shortly.

AND A NEW COURSE: Our new location means we will have a brand new course that is much flatter and faster than our original route. Course details are being finalized and we will post the course map and elevation profile as soon as they are ready.

DIRECTIONS & PARKING: Directions and parking will be posted here shortly. We are currently working out the new parking plan with the city.

Athletes can park in the Key Equipment Financing office complex at 1000 S. Mcaslin in Superior. This is on the west side of Mcaslin at the top of the hill. Parking signs will direct you into the lot. From there, it's just a short 2 minute walk to the start line! To reach the start line, you will cross McCaslin, then follow Rock Creek Parkway east & south to Pitkin.

We will have a bag check area in the registration zone. Just fill out a tag, and you can leave a bag of clothes, etc there for after the race. This will save you a trip or two back to your car!
