The Zombie Run

City Park
Sunday, July 28, 2013

Cost:Individual: $50, Team: $45 (per runner), Zombie: $30

We hope you’re a morning person, because the post apocalyptic playground you’re about to brave offers no protection. At the starting line, you’ll come across a flipped tanker, the source of the toxic compound. After the first kilometer, you’ll enter into a military-controlled apocalypse zone. Beware, this is where your dash from zombies will begin. Around kilometer 3, you’ll make it to a vaccination hydration center. The vaccine will fail, and you’ll have to continue to sprint from zombies. The last 2 kilometers are a free-for-all, as you charge towards freedom. Zombies are everywhere. Helicopters circle overhead and military personnel distribute facemasks for safety during your final steps.Runners have the option of wearing a custom, latex free “life-balloon”. Our brain hungry zombies will try to pop your balloon and take your life before your reach the finish line. But if you’re not fast, don’t worry! Our course is designed like a zombie movie set, so if you don’t wear your balloon or survive the race, you’ll still have a spooky run. Dead or alive, all runners get to complete the entire course and attend the Quarantine Party.

Run Drenched (5K)

Saturday, August 3

City Park, Denver, CO

Wipeout Dash (5k) 

Experience crawling through mud, climbing high cargo nets, and leaping over walls. Sure, this race is challenging, but most worthwhile things are. What’s far greater than the challenges of this race are the amazing amounts of fun you will have completing this adventure and joining the huge celebration at the end with hundreds of your new friends, food, and live music.

There will be a children’s obstacle course as well so, bring the whole family for a day of SUPER FUN! Who’s afraid of a few WIPEOUTS?!??!!

This is a fire jumping, cargo net climbing, mud-crawling extreme race. You never know what obstacle is going to sneak attack next during the demanding 5k course running up and down the hills of Copper Mountain. The finisher’s party and furry warrior hats are a big draw for racers. The race is challenging but still leaves runners with enough energy to rock the house down at the music stage and cheers with a beer.

Color Me RAD 5k

Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield

August 17

Cost: $30 until 4/12, $35 until 5/17

Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you’ll coat yourself with Color Bombs of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side.Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.

Tap ‘N’ Run

1920 Market Street

Cost: $45 until 8/3/13, $50 by 8/17/13, $55 Race Day

A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the local charity, Dolls for Daughters.Before you assume beer chugging and running don’t pair well together, let me introduce you the Tap ‘N’ Run. Racers, dressed in outrageous costumes, will have plenty of rest along the 2.4 mile course, stopping to hydrate with hops at “chug stations.” When it comes to the finish, you better sprint because a full beer is waiting at the after party. If you come dressed with the Best Mustache or Best Belcher- you may also win a prize!

Oyster The Race 

Downtown Aquarium parking lot (700 Water St., Denver CO 80211).

Cost: $100 for the full course and $85 for the half course

Think of this race as mix of the amazing race tripled with outrageous challenges, bike riding and running. Teams between three and six people will cover 10-30 miles criss-crossing the town using clues to search for the next ridiculously fun obstacle. The race unfolds one leg at a time. Participants take off at the starting area and are given a passport explaining the task at hand and instructions. Once a passport is completed the next one is handed out. Although the exact course is a tightly guarded secret until race day, past legs have included scavenger hunts around the city, devouring mystery food, beer pong and more, in addition to running, biking, paddling, and climbing.

The Dirty Dash

Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak International Raceway

August 24

Cost: $35 until 4/17, $40 until 5/15

The Dirty Dash is a mud run obstacle course inspiried by military boot camp moves. You’ll need endurance to trudge up mountains of sludge, courage to overcome uncompromising obstacles, a complete lack of shame to wallow in pits of mud and a smile to show through at the end!

The Ugly Sweater Run 

Held during the Holiday season, exact date TBD

City Park in Denver

Cost: $35

The Ugly Sweater Run is an event for ALL AGES. If you want to wear spandex under your sweater and race fast, that’s cool, but you’re missing the point. If you’ve never run a 5k before, this is a great way to burn some calories before slamming hot chocolate and Winter Lager.

The run is approximately 3.1 miles long on city streets. Runners and walkers dress up in their worst holiday sweaters, maybe have some holiday drinks before lining up at the start line. The start line will have snow machines, reindeer games and awesome holiday music. Once you’re on the course, you’ll find holiday themed aide stations every mile – EG – Sled hills (weather permitting), Hot Chocolate aide stations, Christmas Trees
lining the streets and more snow (Yes, even you Las Vegas, we’re bringing the snow!)
Strollers and dogs are welcome!

After you’ve completed your 3.1 jog (sounds like yawg, it’s a new thing that people are doing now, yawgging), join us at the post run festivities. Awards for best real mustache, best fake mustache, best beard, worst sweater, best sweater and general amazing holiday fun. Oh yea,Sam Adams will be pouring adult beverages for the oldies and the kiddos can get all hopped up on Hot Chocolate.

We ask that every participant brings a new toy to donate under our huge Christmas Tree (yes, we just said Christmas Tree. If you can find us a ‘Holiday’ Tree to buy, shoot us an email). All toys will be donated following the run to Toys For Tots.
