Lace up for a meaningful stride at Sierra's Race 5K, officially known as Sierra's 5K Run/Walk Race Against Meningitis, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Loveland, Colorado. This inspiring event, held at Foundations Church (1380 Denver Ave), isn't just a race; it's a powerful community effort dedicated to raising awareness and preventing bacterial meningitis in loving memory of Sierra Marie Krizman. Known as one of Northern Colorado's largest 5K races, participants consistently praise its impactful mission and lively atmosphere.
Runners and walkers can expect an engaging 5K course, with entertainment along the route and the unique opportunity to receive free meningitis vaccinations on race day. Beyond the vital cause, Sierra's Race offers exceptional perks, including an official race bib, a long-sleeve cotton shirt (with an option to upgrade to a tech shirt), and a Chick-fil-A entrée for the first 750 registrants. All participants also receive a Dairy Queen coupon, and those 21 and over can enjoy a complimentary beer at AKA. Cash prizes await the top overall male and female finishers, along with age group awards and numerous door prizes.
With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 86F and lows near 51F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation, the weather often provides a pleasant backdrop for this impactful event. Families can also join the fun with Sierra's Kids Fun Run for children aged 10 and under, featuring a short course and its own set of delightful amenities. This race truly embodies community spirit, fitness, and a crucial commitment to health.
