Course & Travel Notes

The Coffee Lovers Run in Centennial is happening on November 28th, 2026, with races starting bright and early at 7:30 AM—which is actually about 40 minutes after sunrise, so you'll have some light. Since you're at 5,850 feet elevation, it's worth giving yourself a day or two to adjust if you're coming from sea level. Pack layers because November mornings in the Denver/Aurora area typically run chilly (expect highs around 52°F and lows near 26°F), and you've got about a 15% chance of rain. Centennial Airport is super close at just 1.6 miles away, which makes getting to the venue nice and convenient.
