Parades18th Annual Denver Veterans Day Run, Festival and Parade
- When
- Sat, Nov 14 · 6:30 AM-2:30 PM (parade steps off 10:30 AM)
- Where
- City Park, Denver
Denver's veterans community has run this one since the parade was a handful of people on 17th Avenue; 18 years later it's a full morning in City Park with a free festival, a timed run for three distances, and a parade that closes nearby streets.
Hosted by the Colorado Veterans Project, the day opens at 6:30 a.m. with race check-in, the parade steps off at 10:30 a.m., and the free festival runs alongside it through 2:30 p.m. Runners pick from a 5K ($49), a 10K ($60), or the 10K Rippetoe Rucksack Challenge ($70), a weighted-pack version of the longer race.
