This is a great race and well-executed marathon. There are three distances available, but I liked that all the distances started at the same time and we could run together for a while. This wasn't a huge race, and I liked the personal feel and the course was along a river

The race benefits the Alternative House of Lowell, an agency dedicated to help victims of domestic violence.

Price for 5K or 10K is very reasonable, you get a very nice T-Shirt if you are one of the first 500 to register and everybody gets a frozen apple pie at the end.

The race started with a flyover and we were off on live runways! It was a clear Colorado morning, had a great start, no crowding and plenty of space to spread out. Finished my best time! Lots of giveaways and finisher medals. It's an added plus to know you're helping people
