It's that time of year again . . . the holidays are fast-approaching. Thought it would be fun to have our weekly run in conjunction with the annual Jingle Bell Run at Wash Park. This is the 40th year anniversary of the Jingle Bell Run! This run is quite popular & a lot of fun. People get decked out in holiday costumes or at least wear a Santa hat. To register for the run, go to: events.arthritis.org
Here are the details:
2024 Jingle Bell Run - The Arthritis Foundation’s original Jingle Bell Run is a fun way to get decked out & be festive, while racing to raise funds and awareness to cure America’s #1 cause of disability. You can choose between 5K timed, 5K untimed, 1 mile untimed or kids fun run.

After the race, we will go to Reiver’s - 1085 S Gaylord St Denver 80209. We went here after Hot Chocolate race & everyone seemed to enjoy it. It’s also within walking distance from Wash Park so you won’t need to park again. I will make reservations at the restaurant for 10:30am. Please post if you plan to join us for brunch even if you don’t do the run by Fri Dec 6th so I can make reservations.
Hope you can join us! Don’t forget your Santa hat!
