Lace up your running shoes for the 14th annual All-Out Runapalooza on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in beautiful Arvada, Colorado. This popular end-of-season running celebration offers a Half Marathon and 10K, alongside a 5K distance, all starting and finishing at the lively Colorado Tap House. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 87°F and lows around 57°F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.
The 10K course provides a relatively gentle out-and-back experience along the acclaimed Ralston Creek Trail, winding through shady, creekside beauty and Arvada's picturesque open spaces and charming golf course communities. For those seeking a greater challenge, the Half Marathon combines the scenic Ralston Creek Trail with the rigorous Blunn Reservoir loop, presenting runners with gorgeous views of Denver and the Front Range. Both courses are primarily hard surface, accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, and welcome canine companions. Aid stations are generously spaced approximately every 1.3 miles, offering water, Gatorade, and Gu energy gels, with dog bowls available for furry friends. The Half Marathon course has an elevation gain of 597 feet, while the 10K features 207 feet of gain.
The All-Out Runapalooza is renowned for its exceptional runner experience, featuring a "no time limit" policy that embraces all abilities. This event is an official BOLDERBoulder qualifying race and proudly supports Salute Colorado, offering a special discount for veterans and active military personnel. Beyond the course, runners rave about the smooth organization, ample support, and fantastic perks, including free medal engraving, high-quality moisture-wicking shirts, and special "Brag Tags" for repeat participants. The festive atmosphere continues post-race with an athlete after-party at the Colorado Tap House, complete with a BOGO drink offer and a fun 90s costume contest.
