Westy Winter Waggle 5and10K

Lace up your winter running shoes for the Westy Winter Waggle 5and10K, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Westminster, CO. This revitalized community favorite offers both 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) distances, providing a perfect opportunity for runners of all levels to embrace the "Colorado snow season" with a "Brrrrisk Brrrrun". The courses follow the scenic Big Dry Creek, featuring a mostly concrete path with some packed gravel sections. While the terrain is generally accessible, those running with jogging strollers should be mindful of potential bumps at footbridges and possibly rutted gravel areas. Typical race day conditions for this time of year see highs around 48F and lows around 19F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, creating a truly invigorating winter experience.

The Westy Winter Waggle, an inaugural "fresh remake" of a beloved "chilly tradition" that was once part of the Winter Six Pack Series, is designed to be welcoming to all, offering an affordable, all-inclusive entry fee with no hidden costs and an optional T-shirt. Starting and finishing at the Westminster Promenade Terrace, located at 10600 Westminster Blvd, the event promises a festive atmosphere with "super friendly volunteers" eager to cheer you on. This family-friendly race even welcomes leashed dogs and strollers, ensuring everyone can "waggle" through the charming landscapes. As a bonus for competitive runners, the Westy Winter Waggle is also a Boulder Boulder Qualifier.

Beyond the race itself, participants can look forward to post-race snacks and the chance to "ward-off cabin fever and shake out those winter legs". With chip-timed results and awards for top finishers, this event provides both a challenge and a delightful winter outing. Limited parking is available at the Terrace, with additional options across Westminster Blvd and at Christopher Fields. Join the Westy Winter Waggle for a professionally timed race and a memorable start to your 2026 running season.
