Six 5k Walks around Loveland CO This Spring/Summer




There are lots of different walking events in and around Loveland CO this spring and summer. Here are six runs that are coming soon.

If you are a beginning runner, going from zero to 5k, you will need about two months to prepare.  Here are some tips to help you get off the couch and onto the trails.


  • Start out by walking/running three times a week
  • Alternate between walking and running for about 30 minutes, decreasing the time you walk each week.
  • Every week, transition one of your 30-minute run/walks into a three-mile walk, until you're doing three miles three times a week
  • Gradually increase the mileage of one-run a week until you are doing five miles once a week.


Here are six 5k runs for you to check out and register for.  What better way to get in shape and contribute to a cause.
