Thank you to all the Denver Kids, Inc. runners and volunteers who made the 2011 Colfax 5K and Marathon a huge success!

On May 14th and 15th, 2011, 46 runners and 33 volunteers represented Denver Kids, Inc. in the 2011 Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon.  On Saturday the 14th, five 5K runners raced through City Park in support of the organization while one full marathon, twenty half marathon, and twenty relay runners were up bright and early on Sunday the 15th and ran anywhere from 3.27 to 26.2 miles.  Starting before dawn, 33 volunteers set up the first water station of the marathon route and provided much needed support and hydration to thousands of passing runners.  In addition to the amazing dedication of the runners and volunteers that made Denver Kids, Inc.’s participation in the marathon a huge success, they also raised $25,706 in support of Denver Kids, Inc. programs.  A special shout-out goes to all the runners and volunteers for braving the cold and wet morning. Great job everyone!
