16 Years of runBlossom!
The annual runBlossom race is Cañon City's premier running event. Held each year during the weekend of the Cañon City Music & Blossom Festival, the event features a 5K distance, half-marathon, and kids' races. 

This race is appropriate for runners of all ages and abilities. The course showcases the best of rural Colorado. The course consists of a flat, wide dirt trail that follows the Arkansas River. Beginning and ending at the newly-remodeled Centennial Park, it is the perfect activity to kick off a weekend full of events and activities in the Cañon City area. Come for the race, but stay for the carnival, parade, rodeo, and local celebrations. 

Registration opens on March 1st, 2020. 
This year, we are proud and excited to partner with Sneakers4Funds to help re-purpose used running shoes. Did you put a lot of miles on your training shoes but they still have some life left in them? Bring them to packet pickup or the race and drop them in our designated bin. We'll send them off to this great organization, who will then sent them to business owners in developing countries who will reuse the shoes.
