Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon

The Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon is a winter running event at Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs on Saturday, January 23, 2027, organized by Five Star NTP. The 5K, 10K and half marathon all start together at 8:30 AM, and virtual 5K, 10K and half marathon options are offered for anyone who would rather run on their own schedule.

The 5K and 10K courses are a single out-and-back, and the half marathon runs a double loop. The organizer describes the course as mostly flat, with water stations about every 1.5 miles. The time limit is 3 1/2 hours, which works out to 16 minutes per mile for the half marathon.

Regular registration is $35 for the 5K, $40 for the 10K and $60 for the half marathon, with higher late and race-day prices. Choosing the no-shirt option saves $5, and teams of 5 or more get a discount. Every participant receives a custom finisher medal and a long-sleeve race shirt, with the shirt guaranteed for those who register by January 3.

Race-day check-in opens at 7:30 AM at the park. Awards go to the top 3 overall men and women, the top 3 masters, senior masters and grand masters, and the top 3 in each 5-year age group from 10 and under through 75 and over, in all three races.

The race goes ahead rain or shine, and registrations are final with no refunds, deferrals or transfers. Register through the race RunSignup page. Details are subject to change, so always confirm with the organizer before registering.
