Mardi Crawl offers an unparalleled runner experience built on organization, generous support, and fun!

Organized for Success

• Experience You Can Trust: Our event is led by an RRCA Certified Race Director and a staff with over 25 years of event experience.

• No Time Limit: We welcome everyone, from Olympic hopefuls to walkers, with a policy of no time limit.

• Safety First: You'll find medical crew at the start/finish and on course, and every volunteer knows who to call for help.

• Easy Packet Pick-Up: We offer both early AND race day packet pick-up, making it quick and easy with short lines and no additional fees for race day pick-up.

• Accurate Courses: Race the distance you trained for! We measure each course no fewer than three times with GPS before race day and mark them so they're crystal clear.

Premium Course Support

• Tons of Aid Stations: No need to carry extra weight! Course aid stations are an average of just $1.3$ miles apart and include water, electrolytes, and energy gels.

• Toilets-A-Plenty: The Apex Center will be open so you can use the building's toilets, plus multiple units on-course.

• Dog Support: We love our furry athletes! We provide dog bowls at each aid station and the finish line, and dog treats at gear check.

• Hassle-Free Timing: We use disposable timing chips securely placed on the back of your bib.

• Gear Check: No trips back to the car or lost gear on the course—use our Gear Check and Lost and Found service.

SWAG, Awards, and Perks

• Finisher Medals for All: Receive a custom-molded medal for every distance, including the 5K, with full-color ribbons.

• Free Engraving: Personalize your accomplishment with free, on-site medal engraving.

• Awesome Race Shirts: Get a poly moisture-wicking shirt with cotton for extreme comfort—the one you'll want to wear every day!

• Brag Tags: All repeat finishers receive a Brag Tag to display with their medal as our thanks for making Mardi Crawl a tradition.

• Personalized Bibs: Get an event-specific and personalized souvenir race bib when you register at least two weeks in advance.

• Free Race Pics: Unlimited downloads are on us! Professional photographers are at the finish line AND on course, and you don't have to pay for high-quality image downloads.

• Real-Time Results: Electronic results are posted online, and you can sign up for email and text notifications.

• 3-Deep Awards: We recognize overall AND division winners, giving you a better chance to land on the podium!

• Costume Contest: Be sure to get your photo snapped by the official photographer at the event banner! Plus, wear your best theme-based outfit—the race director will select the winner, who receives a 50% off coupon for a future race event.

Post-Race Celebration

• Post-Race Meal: Enjoy a breakfast burrito (chorizo, vegetarian, and vegan options!), fruit, bagels, and chocolate milk for all athletes—even if you're dead last!

• Hot Drinks: We offer hot cider if it's cold.

🥳 The Mardi Crawl After-Party!

Don't miss the official post-race celebration at Colorado Tap House (CTH)! Run on in to "laissez les bons temps rouler"—the good times will keep rolling for the whole family!

Your race bib unlocks a fantastic BOGO (Buy One Get One) deal on any beverage item (discount applied to the lesser value item).

• For Adults: Enjoy beer, seltzer, cider, wine, wine slushies, or cocktails.
• For Everyone: Choose from non-alcoholic options like craft Root Beer, soft drinks, or the famous Nerds Slushie and Blue Raspberry slushie.

The fun continues with yard games (Cornhole, giant Connect 4), Foosball, and a great selection of breakfast treats (like the giant cinnamon roll) and snacks (hot dogs, brats, pretzels, and more!). Stick around until noon when the food trucks arrive! It's the perfect spot to celebrate your finish with the entire crew.
