About the event

Thank you for your interest in the "Neighborhood Fun Runs!"  Our goal for this series of runs is to meet racers in a small, informal setting and introduce them to fun, local businesses and trails through an affordable, relaxed (yet timed) running experience as well as to meet other local runners!  In most cases, the Fun Run partners with a local charity as well.  

The nominal registration fee covers a few race company costs and we ask that racers also bring an 'in-kind' donation to the charity which will be collected at the time of the run - usually non-perishible food items or hygiene products.  Our hope is that you have a great experience meeting 3W Races and will come back to race with us again at Neighborhood Fun Runs or our other, larger events.

Bring your water bottle, and we'll have coolers for refills available!

This is a super low-key, no-frills race especially for those who don't want a 'high-pressure' or high cost venue, but do want a fun, safe, timed run with their friends.  (But there may be some random prizes.... you never know!) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walkers and people of all ages are welcome!  Stay and have some refreshments after the run.  PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED - you MUST pre-register.  There is no same day registration.  THIS FUN RUN IS SPONSORED BY ANTHEM COLORADO and the ANTHEM TURKEY DAY 5k.  THERE IS NO FEE FOR THIS RUN!  Register online in advance, please.  Online registration is free and lets us know you are coming so we can have enough refreshments prepared.  Same day registration will be available as well.  Bib pick up is on race day, at the event.

This event is open to ALL - not just Anthem Residents and not just those racing at Anthem on Thanksgiving!
We'll run rain or shine.

RESULTS: are posted live during the run at Webscorer.com

Donations

Anthem is pleased to partner with CASA as the benefactor of the 2014 Thanksgiving Day 5k event as well as this FREE, timed run.
Every day in this country, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect, and four of them will die. Every day. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is a network of 951 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates—empowered directly by the courts—offer judges the critical information they need to ensure that each child’s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.
Volunteers stay with children until they are placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives.

Their current focus for donations: New or like-new Children's Books


Volunteers

We could use one or two people to help out for a bit during the run, so if you have a friend who doesn't want to run, but could be at the Parkside Community Center with the race team from 8 AM to 10 AM, tell them to contact Michelle @ [email protected]!  (We promise to treat them nicely and hook them up with some swag!)  :)


Course

This will be a 5k out and back course.  The course will primarily be on concrete trails.  It will be marked for turns as well as accurate mile markers.


Strollers

Strollers are welcome!  The course is out and back, so just remember to stay to the right!


Dogs

Dogs are welcome!!  Please make sure that your well behaved dog is on a leash at all times.


Restrooms

There are restrooms inside the Parkside Community Center.  This beautiful building is for use by (and paid for by) community residents and we are their guests for this run, so please be respectful of their facilities if you need to use them!


Results

This is a low key race, but it is still professionally and electronically timed by 3W Races based on a mass start.  If you think you're among the fastest, make sure you're at the front of the group when the whistle blows to start!  Your bib number will be used to identify you for timing purposes, so please make sure that it is showing when you cross the finish!  Results will be posted LIVE online during the run at www.Webscorer.com.
