11th Annual Run for the Ring

🎉 Celebrate the 11th Annual Run for the Ring 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run with Us!

Over the past 11 years, the Run for the Ring 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run has brought together Barbara Davis Center patients, loyal type 1 supporters, and running enthusiasts to run for the brass ring – the cure for type 1 diabetes. All proceeds from the Run for the Ring will support the efforts and programs of The Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation, whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of Barbara Davis Center patients living with type 1 diabetes and their families through education, support, advocacy, and research.

🏃 About the Race

Run for the Ring features two different races:

• Professionally-timed 5K: Runners, walkers, and strollers can participate around the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
• All levels welcome: Runners of all ages are welcome to join the 5K.
• Kids Fun Run: Kids ages 2-10 can zoom around the Kids Zone while parents cheer them on.
• Family fun: Bounce houses, mazes, and outdoor activities will be featured in the Kids Zone.

Whether you’re an avid runner or a parent looking for a fun family outing, you’re sure to enjoy yourself at Run for the Ring!
