Dear Athlete!
Thanks to those of you that tried out our new half marathon course last month (The Dam Run Half)! Reviews were decent and I hope you'll put some or all of our series in your schedule for 2011-2012!
Topics this month are:
- Two fun events at the Denver Athletic Club, 13th & Glenarm, April 14th and April 19th
- Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man & Woman of the Year competition
- Running Mayor "to be" James Mejia shoulder to shoulder at front of Denver Mayor race pack
- Fun video on 104.3 The Fan with D Mac "explaining" Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon course
- New triathlon excites Denver tri crowd
Fun events at DAC (both brought to you by the Kaiser Permanente Marathon & the DAC)!
- April 14th, our friend, Marshall Ulrich is doing the national launch of his brand new book, Running on Empty, 5-8pm. Ticket price INCLUDES the book & his movie.2.
- April 19th, the annual induction of the 2011 Class of the Colorado Running Hall of Fame will take place! All five inductees plus several of the former inductees, Olympians and Mayors of Aurora, Lakewood and Denver will speak. A night not to be missed!!
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man & Woman of the Year - Here's a fun and VERY important fundraising campaign I've agreed to support. Please use the link and see if your heart pushes you to dig down and contribute.
Running Mayor "to be" James Mejia shoulder to shoulder at front of Denver Mayor race pack! - If you haven't made your decision on Denver's next Mayor or believe it doesn't matter because you live outside the boundary of Denver, please consider that your support, both financially and otherwise, is critical. Go to one of the forums or events and take time to speak with him. I bet you'll agree with me!
 | | 2011 Colfax Marathon |
Fun video on 104.3 The Fan with D Mac "explaining" Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon course D Mac and I had a really crazy fun day bouncing along the Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon course and the video clip is both informative and fun! Plus, D Mac is running Boston this month (I'm not commenting on his "marathon a month program!) so we wish him
luck!
New triathlon excites Denver Tri Crowd - Chris Laskey, the driver and force behind this inaugural event, is determined to bring best practices to the our metro area. BKB does not manage tri's but I know a great director when I meet one. If this is your sport, check out the Denver Triathlon when it goes live on the weekend of July 24th!
Thanks again for your continued support! I'll be at the US Half in San Francisco this coming weekend and was glad to see some of you last weekend at the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Miler!
Enjoy the great weather and get outside!!
