Embrace the holiday spirit and lace up your running shoes for the annual Toy Drop, a heartwarming race set to take place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, in the scenic city of Loveland, Colorado. This unique event offers participants the choice of a 15K or 10K distance, guiding runners through previously unhighlighted city roads and beautiful bike paths. The course promises diverse scenery with views of the mountains, a sparkling lake, and picturesque recreational trails, all on a generally rolling road surface. Starting and finishing at Berthoud Brewing, located at 1480 Cascade Ave, the Toy Drop creates a festive atmosphere from the moment you arrive, with convenient parking available both at the brewery and across the street.

What truly sets the Toy Drop apart is its incredible charitable mission. Partnering with Realities for Children, the race encourages every participant to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the start line for the symbolic "toy drop" as you begin your run. These donations directly benefit children in Larimer County who have experienced abuse, neglect, or are at-risk, making your effort on the course a meaningful contribution to the community. Aid stations along the route will keep you fueled with water and vfuel.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 45°F and lows around 15°F, though historical data suggests race start temperatures closer to 30-33°F with clear skies, making it ideal for a brisk and invigorating run. Layering up with gloves and arm warmers is often recommended for the start, as you'll quickly warm up. Finishers are celebrated with custom-made medals crafted by a local artist, along with gift cards from local businesses. Join fellow runners for an uplifting experience that combines fitness, community, and the joy of giving this holiday season.
