Did the race in 2019
I had a great time. My son was disappointed that he didnt get to wear a number on his shirt like daddy for his fun run but I understand why they cant do this. Ill be back for the Super Bowl 5k!

Great time. Very well organized, but also very heavily attended. Get in your pace group or youll spend the race on someones heels

This was a quick fun race to kick off the new year. In Colorado, the weather can change at any moment, but the organizers intend to hold the event regardless of conditions. This year, weather was great!

Fun event, well organized and always enjoyable being out on a Sunday morning with other athletes. Weather was perfect this year too but no one can plan that!!

Did the race in 2019
it was very organized. I did not enjoy the course though- felt like we could have done a bigger loop around Wash park instead of having to repeat the first part again
