Event Highlights:
The Original Dickens Carolers - in full Dickensian costumes, these professional singers warm the season with cheer and that good old traditional holiday theme!
Operah on Tap - To compliment the Dickens Carolers, this group brings the booming sound of operah to the expo area and the course!
Boyers Coffee - And speaking of warming the season, how about some nice hot coffee, hot chocolate, and hot spiced cider; it wouldn’t be Christmas without it!
Santa Claus - Yes, you heard right! Jolly Old St. Nick will be there with his elves – how many runners, in full brigalia, have the opportunity to have a running photo with Santa?!
Tiny Tim 1K - Gifts for all 1K finishers; just reach into St. Nick’s bag and pull out a gift for the kids - surprises abound!
The Giving Tree - Bring something special, be it a gift wrapped, unwrapped, cash, sweets - anything at all to place beneath the Denver Children’s Home Giving Tree!
Denver Children's Home - This event wouldn’t be the same without a testimonial from one of the youth at Denver Children’s Home to let us all know why we should feel a little more thankful for what we have and a little more willing to share!
