MLK Jr. Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 DENVER/AURORA

Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day by joining our vibrant community run! This annual gathering honors Dr. King's legacy and his relentless pursuit of justice, equality, and peace. Lace up your shoes and join us as we reflect on the powerful message of love and resilience that continues to inspire generations.
This event transcends fitness; it’s a celebration of unity and a call for social change. It invites runners of all paces—whether you’re aiming to sprint or leisurely stroll—with participants under 18 encouraged by guardians. The run is designed as a smaller, private group experience with limited spots per wave, ensuring a warm and stress-free environment.
When you sign up, our coordinators will provide the support needed for personal goal setting and achievement. We also invite you to join local running clubs that offer ongoing fitness guidance and community engagement.
