Colfax 5K
Come run City Park in the Colfax 5K! Go for a PR in this chip-timed race – separate stroller-friendly start wave for families and walkers. And, you can run with your dog in the dog wave presented by Evolution Veterinary Specialists! Afterparty with live music. A great chance to be a part of Marathon weekend – at a much shorter distance.
