Run for Donuts 5K/10K/13.1

The Run for Donuts 5K/10K/13.1 at Piney Creek Hollow Park brings together Aurora's running community for a spring race that celebrates fitness and fun in equal measure. Set for April 25, 2026, this multi-distance event offers three race options — a 5K for beginners, 10K for intermediate runners, and a half-marathon (13.1 miles) for distance enthusiasts.

Piney Creek Hollow Park, located at 6140 S Tower Rd in Aurora, provides a scenic backdrop with its network of paved and natural surface trails winding through prairie grasslands and wetland areas. The park's relatively flat terrain makes it ideal for runners seeking fast times or newcomers looking for a manageable course. With ample parking and modern facilities, the venue can accommodate the expected field of several hundred participants across all three race distances.

Registration typically includes race timing, a finisher medal, and post-race refreshments — though the event's playful name suggests donuts may feature prominently in the celebration. The April timing takes advantage of Colorado's mild spring weather, with temperatures usually ranging from the 40s to 60s Fahrenheit, creating optimal running conditions before summer heat arrives.
