Donot Stop Half Marathon (5k/10k) - Colorado Springs

Lace up for a delightfully sweet challenge at the Donot Stop Half Marathon (5k/10k) - Colorado Springs, taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, in scenic Colorado Springs, CO. This annual, donut-themed event is perfect for the entire family, offering a variety of distances including a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, 1 Mile, and a Kids Dash. Runners will appreciate the "fast and flat" road course, which typically follows the picturesque Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, winding north and crossing Monument Creek into South Monument Valley Park before a turnaround. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 61F and lows near 34F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this race apart is its unique "Baker's Dozen Challenge," where participants can enjoy 12 donut holes at aid stations along the course, culminating with a full-sized donut awaiting them at the finish line. Beyond the delectable treats, runners will receive fantastic swag, including a designer shirt and a custom finisher's medal, along with chip-timing, live results, awards, and free photos to capture the fun. The race fosters an encouraging, affordable, and inclusive atmosphere, welcoming all paces and fitness levels.

The festivities kick off with packet pickup, followed by the Kids Dash, and then the National Anthem before the main race start at America the Beautiful Park, the designated start and finish line. Whether you're aiming for a personal record or simply looking for a memorable family outing, the Donot Stop Half Marathon offers a charming blend of fitness and fun, promising plenty of smiles and, of course, delicious donuts.
