Jack Quinn's Weekly 5K Run/Walk — Free Social Running Group (Colorado Springs, CO)

About This Group
Jack Quinn’s Weekly 5K is one of the largest and most beloved social running events in Colorado, drawing approximately 1,200 participants every week to the streets of Colorado Springs. What started as a casual pub run has evolved into a cornerstone community event that brings together runners, walkers, joggers, and social butterflies of all ages and abilities. The run is purely social — no timing chips, no race bibs, no competition — just a fun 5K route through downtown Colorado Springs followed by socializing at Jack Quinn’s Irish Pub.

What to Expect
Every week, participants gather at Jack Quinn’s Irish Pub and Brewery in downtown Colorado Springs for a 5K (3.1 mile) run or walk along a set route through the city. The atmosphere is festive and welcoming — you’ll see serious runners, casual joggers, families with strollers, dog walkers, and groups of friends all sharing the same route. There is no registration, no cost, and no pressure to keep a certain pace. After the run, many participants gather at Jack Quinn’s for food, drinks, and conversation. It is as much a social event as it is a workout.

Who It’s For
Absolutely everyone — runners, walkers, joggers, and anyone who wants to get outside and be part of a community. All ages, paces, and fitness levels are welcome. Dogs, strollers, and walking buddies are common sights.
