Not everyone dreams of running a 5K, and that’s exactly why 5K In My Shoes offers a 1K Run, Walk, and Roll option. The 1K is designed to be a fun, welcoming, and inclusive way for people of all ages and abilities to participate in race day. Whether you’re attending with young children, using mobility supports, trying your first organized event, or simply looking for a shorter distance, the 1K allows everyone to experience the excitement, energy, and community spirit that make 5K In My Shoes so special.

The 1K isn’t about speed or competition, it’s about participation, connection, and celebrating inclusion. Participants can walk, roll, stroll, or move at their own pace while being surrounded by family members, friends, coworkers, and community supporters. Every step taken on the course helps advance the message that everyone belongs and deserves opportunities to be included in their community. Registered 1K participants will also receive this year’s commemorative 12th Annual 5K In My Shoes race t shirt. Because the 1K is a noncompetitive option focused on participation and community, awards are not provided for 1K participants.

If you’ve ever thought, “A 5K isn’t for me,” we invite you to take another look. The 1K offers all the fun of race day with a distance that is accessible and achievable for many more participants. Join us for this year’s 5K In My Shoes on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 8:30 AM at Envision, 1050 37th Street, Evans, CO 80620, and be part of a morning filled with community, encouragement, and inclusion. Participants in our 1K option who register will also get this year’s 12th annual race t-shirt. Gather your family, invite a friend, form a team for extra fun, and register today at https://envisioncoorg.wufoo.com/forms/5k-in-my-shoes-registration-form/. Because at our 5K In My Shoes event, every distance makes a difference.
