HRCA Highlands Point Circuit

Looking for something to do with the whole family on Father's Day Weekend? Look no further than the Happy Hour Half K on Friday, June 19, starting at 6:00 p.m., at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch.

Have you always wanted to run a half-marathon, or maybe just a 5K, but it seems like too much work? You're in luck! Join us for the 1640-foot Happy Hour Half K benefiting the HRCA Therapeutic Recreation Program. There will be:

🚶 A family-friendly 1640-foot "race" around Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch Town Center featuring...

🍩 One aid station offering water and sustenance (phew!) to help you make it to the finish line

💃🏽 Live music

🍺 Local beer, seltzer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages free for participants (2 each)

This is a non-timed race because everyone is a winner! Haven't started training? No worries... neither has anyone else!

Kick off your 4th of July with a family-friendly and festive 5K on Saturday, July 4, beginning at 7:30 a.m.! Celebrate Independence Day with a fun morning on the move — this spirited run/walk welcomes everyone: first-time 5K participants, elite athletes, kids, parents with strollers, and even four-legged friends. Lace up, bring your patriotic flair, and start the holiday with energy and community cheer! Once you cross the finish line, keep the celebration going by heading over to Highlands Ranch Parkway to enjoy the annual HRCA 4th of July Parade!

Keep your eyes peeled — a red, white, and blue kettlebell will be hidden on the course! Whoever finds it and brings it back to the finish will win $100! 🎉

All participants will receive the following:

• Race t-shirt

• Independence Day 5K pint glass

• Custom race bib

• Pancake breakfast from Flippin' Flapjacks
