About the Winter Distance Series
It’s difficult to keep training through Colorado’s harsh winters, but the Winter Distance Series helps by motivating thousands of runners to keep moving. The series offers three events in Littleton. The first race is the Rudolph’s Revenge 5K and 10K on December 17, followed by the Frosty’s Frozen 5 and 10 Miler on January 21, and then the Snowman Stampede 5 and 10 Miler on February 18. Each race offers a party-like atmosphere with flat and fast courses along the banks of the scenic South Platte River. Now in its seventh year, the series has served more than 10,000 runners and walkers as a benefit for the Fetal Hope Foundation.
