The 2023 Mother’s Day 5K took place on on May 14, 2023 and featured a scenic course that wound through Denver’s iconic City Park. All female participants were greeted at the finish line with a rose to celebrate Mother’s Day.

The yearly event, sponsored by Colorado Race Timing, “is geared towards runners and walkers of all levels and provided an opportunity to spend quality time with the special mom in your life.” A pancake and sausage breakfast with orange juice was provided by Flippin’ Flapjacks for all registered participants. A total of 650 runners registered for the event with about 70% of those registrants being women, according to race organizer Simon Escorcia.
