From the Organizer
Join Every Child Pediatrics (ECP) and Presenting Sponsor Suncor Energy for the 3rd Annual Champions for Children 5K + Fun Run, a fun and inspiring event designed to bring our community together in support of Colorado’s largest safety net clinic for children. The mission is simple and powerful - to provide care to every child, regardless of their circumstance or ability to pay.
Whether you’re an avid runner, a casual walker, or simply want to enjoy a day of family-friendly activities while supporting an impactful non-profit, there’s something for everyone at this event!
Net proceeds from this event go directly to the Every Child Pediatrics Care for Every Child Fund to help uninsured children access care. Funds also support families in Commerce City.
Beyond supporting the mission of ECP, participants will receive...
- 5K participants receive a commemorative 30th Anniversary race tee and commemorative 30th Anniversary finisher medal.
- Fun Run participants receive access to the family-friendly finisher village (face painting, sketch artists, music, and more!)
- Paws for the Cause receive a commemorative 30th Anniversary doggy bandana.
