In keeping with the Colorado Cancer Foundation’s (CCF) 42-year history of athletic-based charitable giving, this year the 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation is once again offering a virtual run amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Where the traditional Eldorado Run for the Cure, begins and ends in Eldorado Canyon State Park outside Boulder, CO, this year’s virtual event starts and stops wherever you happen to be in quarantine.
Registration begins on Wednesday, March 10th, and the run officially starts three months later on Thursday, June 10th, continuing for three weeks through Wednesday, June 30th. Like last year’s event, the 2021 run/jog/walk is based on a course of your choosing be it a 5K, 10K, a half marathon, or more. Of course, you’re welcome to go further, and we encourage you to seek pledges for every mile you travel, raising funds for those that are unable to do so due to their health condition.
When: Anytime between Thursday, June 10th and Wednesday, June 30th
Where: Anywhere you like, e.g., in your neighborhood, on a local track, at Eldorado, etc.
Why: Generate funds for cancer patients, researchers, and clinicians at the University of Colorado
