What People Are Saying...
My son + I had wanted to run a 5k to see how fast we could be - 30 min! He was amazing!
First Colorado Run! Really cool to see all the youngsters...Very well organized.
The Elevate Kids fun run is a great community event for people of all ages and abilities! Very well executed, especially for the first year! We’re already excited to participate, in support of kids, next year!
