Sunrise 5K Denver: Park Trail Run & Specialty Coffee Social
About this Event
Start the weekend outside before the city fully wakes up.
Sunrise 5K Denver is a small-group recreational run followed by specialty coffee, pastry, and casual conversation at a local Denver roastery.
This is not a timed race.
There are no rankings, prizes, pace requirements, or competitive awards.
The run is designed around manageable pace groups so experienced runners, casual joggers, and run/walk participants can take part without needing to compete.
After the approximately 5K route, guests regroup at MiddleState Coffee for the social portion of the morning.
The Sunrise Run
The group meets before sunrise for check-in, route information, and a short hosted warm-up.
Run captains then organize participants into small groups based on comfortable pace.
The intended route uses public park and shared-trail areas in the Sunken Gardens / Cherry Creek corridor.
The final course will only be published after the applicable route and permit requirements have been confirmed.
Denver sunrise on November 21, 2026 is approximately 6:51 AM, so the planned start allows participants to be moving as morning light arrives.
Pace Groups
Participants may choose from:
Easy Run
A steady recreational running pace.
Run / Walk
Alternating running and walking as needed.
Social Pace
A slower group focused on staying together rather than speed.
No participant is required to maintain a specific pace.
You may slow down, walk, or stop participating at any time.
Specialty Coffee Social
After the run, participants move to MiddleState Coffee for the post-run portion.
Eligible in-person tickets include:
one confirmed standard coffee beverage or available caffeine-free alternative;
one confirmed pastry;
access to the post-run social.
MiddleState Coffee is a Denver specialty café and flagship roastery.
The exact included drink and pastry selections will be listed only after the café confirms the event order.
Additional café purchases are separate.
For Younger Participants
This event is open to families, but participants under 16 must stay with their accompanying adult throughout the run.
A parent or legal guardian is responsible for determining whether the route and distance are appropriate for the minor participant.
Coffee is not required.
Where available, younger participants may choose an included caffeine-free beverage option from the confirmed event menu.
