Always Hope Easter Run 5K/10K/13.1

The Always Hope Easter Run brings together runners from across the Denver metro for a spring celebration at Aurora's Piney Creek Hollow Park. Set for Saturday, April 4, 2026, this family-friendly race event offers three distance options: 5K, 10K, and half-marathon (13.1 miles), making it accessible for runners of all experience levels.

Piney Creek Hollow Park provides a scenic backdrop with its network of paved trails winding through natural grasslands and wetlands — a departure from the typical urban race courses found elsewhere in the metro. The park's location at 6140 S Tower Road places runners in Aurora's southeast quadrant, where the Front Range begins its transition to the eastern plains.

Registration typically includes race timing, finisher medals, and post-race refreshments. The April timing coincides with Colorado's unpredictable spring weather, where participants might encounter anything from snow flurries to 70-degree sunshine. Race organizers usually recommend layers and checking weather conditions the morning of the event.
