City Park CLASSIC
Run. Walk. Remember. Celebrate. 💜
Kick off November with us at Denver's beautiful City Park! The 8th annual City Park Classic brings runners, walkers, families, and friends together for a morning of fitness, community, and hope.
Choose your distance: a chip-timed 5K or 10K, or our untimed 1 Mile (ish) Walk of Hope. Whether you're racing for a personal best, walking in honor of someone you love, or simply enjoying a fall morning with friends, there's a place for you here!
🏅 5K and 10K finishers earn a finisher medal!
💜 November Is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
We're proud to partner with CU Anschutz to shine a light on pancreatic cancer and the important research happening right here in Colorado.

💜 Our Charity Partner
Local Research. Real Hope.
Pancreatic cancer touches families, friends, and communities everywhere. This November, we're proud to shine a light on the people working to improve outcomes for those facing this challenging disease.
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Division of Surgical Oncology brings together skilled surgeons, researchers, and medical professionals dedicated to advancing cancer treatment and improving patients' lives.
Through innovative surgical techniques, multidisciplinary care, research, and education, their team is working toward better treatment options and better outcomes for people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
And that work is happening right here in Colorado!
