Attention age-group award winners: You may pick up your awards anytime during business hours at the Colorado Running Company at 833 N Tejon St. (just south of Colorado College). Congratulations!

 

Thank you to everyone who turned out to make our event such a success. More than 370 runners registered (our most optimistic hopes were for 250!). Thank you for your patience as we did our best to register and process participants amid this wonderful but unexpected turnout.

Check the results pages (see menu above). We hope to post photos and fundraising totals soon (preliminary figures indicate that the race has raised more than $17,000 toward the Kibali health clinic, as well as scholarships and livestock).

We will also post photos from the race that was held simultaneously in Rwanda as soon as we are able to. As we spoke to race officials there during the race, reports were of an overwhelmingly successful event as well.

Again, thank you to all who participated, volunteered, or donated to the Run for Rwanda. It was an amazing event and will make a huge difference in the lives of thousands.

Gratefully,

Steve Flannery, Race Director
