The Unicorn 5K (Denver-East) takes place on April 25, 2027, at Great Lawn Park in Denver, Colorado. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile run and an 880-yard option rather than a traditional 5K distance. The race starts at 9:00 AM, giving you a morning competition window. Entry fees range from $13 to $56 depending on registration timing and category selection. This shorter-distance format works well for runners looking to test fitness before longer spring races or for those introducing themselves to organized running events. Great Lawn Park provides a Denver-area venue for participants traveling to the region for weekend racing.

From the Race Organizer
Ready to gallop around Denver with some friends? Yeah, you are! Come frolic with us at the Unicorn Runner 5k at Great Lawn Park to kick off your spring running season! You'll earn a sweet tee shirt and a flashy unicorn finisher medal! It's a 5k distance for all, and whether you walk, trot, canter or gallop, we'll be happy to see you! This event also features a shorter saunter for those not quite ready to enjoy a full 5k! The untimed 1/2 mile run is long enough to get your heart rate up and be a 'real run' without being a sprint! Remember to refer your friends and you can earn back up to $20 back from your registration fee (valid only on the 5k distance). Also - teams of 5 or more each get $5 off their registration. So form a group and get your buddies to join you today! All the info you need about this event is found on this site - click the menu bar or scroll to the bottom to see a listing of all page links!
