Join us for our 14th annual Summer Breeze, benefiting the Food Bank of the Rockies! This event features 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon courses that meander along the Van Bibber Creek Trail, offering breathtaking views of Arvada's open spaces and Table Mountain. The courses are relatively flat, so prepare for a personal record! And continue your achievements with its endless series counterpart, Polar Prowl.

♦ Race Shirts—The one you'll want to wear EVERY day! Fit-specific, of course, and still poly for those moisture wicking properties, but with a touch of cotton for extreme comfiness.

♦ Gear Check—No trips back to the car for our athletes... no need! Leave it with us... we'll keep an eye on it for you.
♦ Toilets-A-Plenty—3 Units for 500 people? What, are you crazy? Ever had to run without using a restroom because the lines were too long? Us too... ouch! We provide more than TRIPLE the facilities as other events. Multiple visits on-course for the 10K & Half!
♦ Accurately Measured Courses—Race the distance you trained for! Not a little more and not a little less... we measure each course no fewer than 3 times before race day and mark them so they're crystal clear.
♦ Medical Support—Nothing is more important than your safety! Here's hopin' those guys are really bored, but just in case... you'll find our med crew both at the start/finish AND on course. Plus, each and every volunteer you pass knows who to call for help.
♦ Tons of Aid Stations—No need to carry any extra weight! Not only will both water & electrolytes be handed to you at the finish line, course aid stations are an average of just 1.2 miles apart. And cups at the aid stations, no hassle of running cupless!
♦ Disposable Timing Chips—No hassle at the finish line! And no fees if you forget to return your timing chip either... we don't need it back.
♦ Electronic Results—No more endless sheets of data to sort through! Real-time results posted online and you can sign up for email and/or text results notifications to be sent straight to you
♦ Post-Race Meal—Breakfast burritos, fruit, bagels & chocolate milk for all! Yup, even if you're dead last... we're not going anywhere until we cheer you in.
♦ 3 Deep Awards—Overall AND Divisions! Events small enough to stay friendly and personal give you a better chance of landing on the podium!
♦ Fun, theme-based costume contest! Make sure the official photographer snaps your pic and the best theme-based outfit (as determined by the race director) gets a 50% off coupon for a future event!

	My husband and I have recently started participating in several events and yours was by the far the best! From start to finish, you guys have thought of it all. We appreciated the on-time start, the course support including water for dogs, well-marked paths and water stations. Thanks for a job well done!  ~Sara

	With about a gazillion reasons why you might not be able to join us on race day, we know you still want to race with your friends & family. Well, we've got your back! More
