News Release

YMCA 5K Race Series Announced For 2026 (Photo) - 07/15/26

Colorado Springs, CO — The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region is excited to announce the dates for the 2026 annual 5K Race Series held in Colorado Springs, Palmer Lake, and Fountain.

 

Running for over a decade, the YMCA 5k Race Series consists of three races: The Creepy Crawl, The Turkey Trot, and The Jingle Jog. The Halloween-themed Creepy Crawl 5K will be held on the Santa Fe Trail in Palmer Lake on Saturday, October 24; The Turkey Trot 5K, in its 29th year, will be held at the Briargate YMCA on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 26; and The Jingle Jog 5K will be held at the Fountain-Fort Carson High School on Saturday, December 12.

 

Fun for the whole family, the YMCA 5K Race Series draws over 6,000 participants annually and raises funds to ensure that all individuals and families in the Pikes Peak Region can access programs such as child care, swim lessons, and youth sports.

 

The tradition of the YMCA 5K Race Series continues to grow every year, as does the need for funds required to support families in the Pikes Peak Region. From helping children with swim lessons and learning to be safe around water, attending summer camp, helping parents with much-needed childcare, or assisting aging adults with programs and services, the 5K races are cornerstone fundraising events in our region. We hope you'll join this year in three great races for one great cause.

 

The YMCA would like to thank this year's Race Series Presenting Sponsor, Corwin Honda of Colorado Springs. Along with 5k Race Series sponsors including Great Clips, Raising Cane’s, T-Fiber, and Fox 21. 

 

Sponsorships are still available; contact information is below.

 

Registration is now open for all three races. Don’t miss your chance to save! Sign up for the Race Series Bundle (all three races)  by August 15 to receive our best pricing, earn an exclusive commemorative medal, and join the fun at all three holiday-themed races. Each course is stroller and dog-friendly, and each race has a free kids' fun run. Groups are encouraged, and as usual, so are costumes! To learn more about this year's race series and early bird prices, visit ppymca.org/raceseries.
