Because of the crowded and athletic nature of this event, as well as the large number of children that regularly attend, we’ve decided that more...0 it’s safest and in the best interest of children and all participants to be virtual superheroes this year! We’re excited to bring even more superheroes all across Colorado into the virtual race, costume and photo contests, and fundraising activities this year!

Running down the street in a superhero costume will definitely brighten someone’s day!
