Women's Wilderness I Can 5k

Join us at Carpenter Park Fields in Thornton, CO for an unforgettable community focused 5k benefitting Women’s Wilderness.

Whether this is your first 5k or you plan on going for a PR, all paces and abilities are welcome. This event is for EVERY ONE and EVERY BODY.

You’ll run, walk, or wheel a clearly marked 5k course with friendly volunteers pointing the way. When you’re done, we’ll be at the finish line with huge smiles and high fives to celebrate YOU, because YOU CAN 5k.

Pay what you can to register, invite your friends to join, and create a team. Leading up to your race, you’ll encourage others to donate to grow Women’s Wilderness’ programming and build your race swag bag.

Your participation will help provide outdoor education, leadership training, and wilderness access programs for women, girls, and non-binary youth and adults across Colorado.
