Description:
While there are some events being held in person, there are still a number of people who prefer to not participate in running events in person. We have chosen to cancel this year's Cheap 5K and Flea Market Mile because we feel the needed changes would detract from the usual feel of the event too much. See you next year! Everything you expect from a race from Bigwig Races ... only cheaper. We cut a few corners to knock a few dollars of our usual registration fees ... but you can't cut any corners on the course (we're still timing you). PLUS, you even get a free pancake breakfast after the race. The Flea Market Mile will start at 8:30 am and the Cheap 5K will start at 8:50 am.

Course description:
The course may be adjusted from year to year depending on environmental conditions (and weather). We'll announce course modifications here on race day or earlier. Course is mostly behind the Colorado Springs Flea Market. The course starts on streets and parking lots before moving on to a surprise trail network in a shady, always-changing grove. Surface is mostly winding trails. Sometimes the course changes several times the last few weeks before the event due to the changing conditions. This sometimes makes for a challenging race day. We apologize in advance, but hope it's still fun for you.
Course maps:
Parking:
Enter through main entrance and park on the north side of the south parking lot behind the Flea Market buildings. Park near the little blue building, it will be a short walk into the gate and to the start/finish area. To get to the parking area, follow the signs to the Buyers Parking area (far right lane when first entering the Flea Market).
Awards info:
First, second and third place overall for each gender. Winners get to pick from real cheap prizes.
Refunds:
Entry fees are non-refundable.
Walkers:
Yes! Our belief is that a community run is for runners and walkers both. All we will ask is that everyone seeds themselves in approximate order of speed and for start-of-race safety concerns - we will have walkers start in the second half of the pack instead of the first half of the pack.
Strollers:
In addition to running, we support health, fitness, babies, fun, etc. We'd love to have you! All we will ask is that everyone seeds themselves in approximate order of speed and for start-of-race safety concerns - we will have strollers start in the second half of the pack instead of the first half of the pack. There is no charge for stroller babies (they're not walking or running after all) and they will not get the shirt, goody bag, official times, etc. Due to the nature of this course (trails, open fields, bumps, dips, etc.), we don't think the small-wheeled strollers will do too well. The big-wheeled jog strollers should work better. Please check out the course on your own to determine for yourself. (Check in with the Flea Market office first of course).

For the safety of all participants AND pets, no pets are allowed in the race. Additionally, no pets are allowed on the Colorado Springs Flea Market property.
