What to Bring/What Not to Bring

• Although this year's event is in May, this is Colorado, so please come prepared! This is a Rain, Snow, or Shine event and refunds will not be available due to weather or non-attendance.
• This year we will have food trucks again! We will also have cuties and chocolate milk at the finish line, and there will be several water stations along the route, at the finish line, and at the Wellness Festival.
• Strollers are welcome.
• Dogs are discouraged due to the size of the event as well as park restrictions.

Adaptive Devices/Extra Assistance Needed

Please email Lisle.M.Reed@adams12.org if you will be using an adaptive device or need additional assistance, so that we can connect you with the person who will be your point of contact on the day of the event!
