The American Driving Academy and the Southern Colorado Runners welcome you to the 48th Annual Spring Runoff Sunday, March 2nd, 2025. Join us for the 48th edition of Pueblo’s oldest and largest running event.  The American Driving Academy, a locale company, is the main sponsor of our race and a portion of race proceeds benefit the Care & Share Food Bank of Pueblo.  We will be collecting non-perishable food items the day of the race.  There will be a monetary award for the overall winners of each race.

Kids through 8th grade can run for free in the  Funner To Be A Runner event starting at 10:45 am. Sign up for the event on this link, sign the waiver and get credit for your school.

We are offering 3 races of varying distances that should appeal to a wide variety of runners.  The 5K, 10K, and 10 mile race courses all incorporate the beautiful Arkansas River Trail, beginning and ending at Dutch Clark Stadium.  We will be running routes that will incorporate running on both sides of the Arkansas River and each distance will have a loop to follow.  Half of the course will be on top of the historic Arkansas River Levee and the 5K will use the first suspension bridge as a crossing point while the 10K will use the solid iron bridge near Runyon Lake.  The 10 mile will go east to Lake Runyon, around the entire lake and head back west using the entire length of the levee.  All of the course is traffic free for runners safety.  You can visit our Facebook site, Pueblo Spring Runoff for more information.
