The City Park Circuit, Presented by New Balance

Lace up for an exhilarating day of speed and community at The City Park Circuit, Presented by New Balance, taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in scenic Denver, CO. This event, a highlight of the Denver Parks Circuit Series, offers distances for every runner, including a 400M Kids Quarter Mile and a challenging 2-mile race. Designed to be "one lap as fast as you can go!", the atmosphere is electric, complete with music, an enthusiastic emcee, and local vendors, ensuring a vibrant experience for participants and spectators alike. Whether you're aiming for a new personal best or enjoying a brisk stroll, the inclusive community race welcomes all paces, even strollers and dogs, while competitive runners can push their limits in dedicated women's (sub 7:00 pace) and men's (sub 6:00 pace) heats.

The course itself winds through Denver's iconic City Park, offering a beautiful urban parkland-style setting with spectacular panoramic views of the downtown skyline and the majestic Rocky Mountains. Runners will navigate a mix of crushed gravel and paved paths, experiencing gentle elevation changes where the north side of the park presents a slight uphill challenge along sections like Colorado Boulevard or York Street. Typical race day conditions in late March often bring pleasant weather, with highs around 62F and lows near 32F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.

Participants are treated to a premium race experience, including a performance race tee with original artwork, a gift from New Balance, and free hydration products. The event is professionally timed and USATF sanctioned, ensuring a top-tier competition. The celebration continues post-race with an lively after-party at Cerebral Brewing, just a quarter-mile from the park, where racers can enjoy a complimentary beer shot and the first 50 attendees receive a commemorative pint glass. Top finishers across youth, masters, and open categories, as well as team divisions, will receive awards from New Balance, Runners Roost, and Denver Athletics.
