Spring Equinox (5K-13.1M) - Mar 29, 2026 | Wellington, CO

Embrace the arrival of spring at the Spring Equinox race, set for Sunday, March 29, 2026, in scenic Wellington, CO. This annual tradition offers runners a choice between a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M) and a speedy 5K, kicking off from the vibrant Deppen Brewing. Typical race day conditions in late March bring pleasant highs around 61°F and lows near 32°F, with only a 4% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal setting to shake off winter's chill.

The Half Marathon course promises an invigorating out-and-back journey over scenic country roads, featuring a dynamic mix of approximately 7.5 miles of dirt and cinder paths alongside 5.6 miles of asphalt. While generally considered mostly flat with some rolling hills, runners will appreciate the varied terrain and the natural beauty unfolding northwest of the brewery. For those seeking a quicker pace, the 5K offers a flat and fast experience entirely on asphalt, weaving through the charming neighborhoods surrounding Deppen Brewing. Previous half marathon participants have noted the course's mixed surfaces, with some praising the softer footing for their knees, while others found sections challenging.

The Spring Equinox race is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, welcoming runners of all levels to mark the changing season. Both races start and finish at Deppen Brewing, setting the stage for lively post-race festivities where participants can celebrate their accomplishments and connect with fellow runners. This early-season event is more than just a race; it's a fantastic tradition to experience the beauty of Colorado as spring blossoms.
