Even More Features
Virtual Racing
A virtual registration is great if you can't join us on race day, want to do a local challenge, or want to run in spirit with your Denver-based friends! It's also useful if the weather race day doesn't match with your running style or goals. Virtual racing gives you modified points for the Run Amok Championship. SWAG and medals are shipped to you the Monday after the event.
Season Series
Register for both winter events (Polar Prowl and Mardi Crawl) and receive 25% off your registration fees! You can mix and match distances and in-person/virtual participation
Endless Series
As part of our first-of-its kind race that doesn't end, run the same Endless Series course at 2026 Summer Breeze to measure your progress and if you improve you get a reward to mark your achievement!
Run Amok Championship
Everyone who participates in an All-Out event is entered into the annual Run Amok Championship. Earn points for your distance and for how you place in your age group, and the folks with the most points at the end of the year win free events!
Friendly for All Abilities
Want to just walk the half marathon? Yes, we'll be there for you at every aid station and still be set up at the venue to welcome you in. Want to run the 5K at Olympic speed? We'll also be ready for you! We truly love and support all of our athletes, especially those "back-of-the-pack". These courses are especially great for strollers, wheelchairs, and dogs!
Prizes
We have the great 3-deep awards that you love, overall and divisions. Overall winners of each gender will receive prizes from our sponsors or All-Out gear. But there is also a prize of a free event registration randomly selected from all participants of each distance, winners will be notified via email the week after the event. More
