Frigid conditions didn't stop over 240 brave souls from participating in the Parker Parks and Recreation Love 'em or Leave 'em Valentine's Day 5K/10K at Bar CCC Park.

Every year, South Suburban Parks and Recreation puts on the Super Sunday 5K on Super Bowl Sunday. This year, the weather brought out some flurries and temperatures in the med-teens.

Despite freezing temperatures, over 700 runners and walkers took part in the Super Bowl 5K this past Sunday at Wash Park in Denver. Hosted by BKB, Ltd. and HAL Sports, the event is the third in the RunDenver Series. Participants were treated to a fun big game warm-up with a speedy 5K, kids fun run, crazy fan costume contest, compression socks, finisher's medal, games, food, drinks and more.

Mild morning temperatures lead to fast times at Frosty's Frozen Five and Ten at Hudson Gardens in Littleton. The second event in Colorado Runner’s Winter Distance Series attracted hundreds of runners and walkers to the clear, flat, and fast South Platte River Trail for a 5M, 10M, or both!

Finding the time to exercise can be difficult even for someone who doesn’t have children, but when you’re a single parent, it can seem nearly impossible. There’s always so much to do and plan for, and it can be hard to try to fit it all in without adding stress to your already overloaded day.

Every step you take, every PR you make, your devices are tracking you—and likely collecting more info than you realize. Here’s where it’s going.

Mild conditions led to some fast times this past Saturday at the Santa Stampede 5K and 10K. Hundreds of runners and walkers converged on Hudson Gardens in Littleton for the first event in the popular Winter Distance Series, hosted by Colorado Runner.

What you eat and how much water you drink on the race day (both before and during the event) has a significant impact on how you perform, for better or worse. If you consume the wrong things or the right things at the wrong times or in the wrong amounts, unfortunately, you can have great problems during your race ranging from runners gut discomfort to dehydration. The right race strategy consists of “three rights”: right things, right times and right amounts. Consuming the right things at the right times in the right amounts is a guarantee of your successful performance in the race. Here are some useful hydration and fueling tips for better performance on race day.
