Super Half Marathon and Game Day 5K

Lace up for Colorado Springs' celebrated "Super Sunday Tradition" at the Super Half Marathon and Game Day 5K on February 8, 2026. This popular event invites runners to conquer distances of 13.1 miles or 5K on a fast, mostly flat, out-and-back course that winds through the scenic urban trails and streets of downtown Colorado Springs. Beginning on Colorado Avenue near Tejon Street, runners will enjoy views along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, passing through local parks and behind the iconic Antler's Hotel, before a triumphant finish at America the Beautiful Park. The Half Marathon route includes a slight elevation gain on the way out, offering a welcome downhill stretch on the return. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 45F and lows around 18F and a mere 1% chance of precipitation, it's an ideal setting for a winter run.

What truly sets this race apart is its lively atmosphere and "Super Bowl Sunday" timing, drawing over 1,500 participants annually eager to "race for paydirt" before the big game. The course features a "very rowdy" Tailgate Party Aid Station, ensuring runners are well-supported and entertained. After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with a vibrant post-race party and awards ceremony at Jack Quinn's Irish Pub, providing a perfect opportunity to revel in your accomplishment.

Participants in both distances will receive a race medal that doubles as a bottle opener, with Half Marathon finishers also earning a commemorative pint glass. For those looking for a challenge, the Super Half Marathon serves as a Pikes Peak Ascent qualifier with a time of 2:30 or faster. This event, supporting the Pikes Peak Road Runners, is more than just a race; it's a festive community experience promoting healthful living and a unique way to kick off Super Bowl Sunday.
