Why We Run
The Phoenix Flyers are back! We are running to raise funds and awareness for Art from Ashes (AfA), a wonderful Denver-based non-profit that has impacted us all. Supporting our team will enable AfA to continue providing free creative empowerment workshops for young people in our community. The Colfax Marathon offers multiple race options, including a 5k, 10-mile, half marathon and marathon. If you want to join us, and start your own fundraising campaign, please do so! We'll see you on the course. If you are able, please support our team by donating here or any of the individual runner pages.
What is Art from Ashes
Art from Ashes (AfA) exists to empower struggling youth by providing creative programs that facilitate health and hope through expression, connection, and transformation. AfA's art programs allow marginalized youth to tell their stories through poetry and spoken word (Phoenix Rising) in a non-judgmental space with caring adults and community artists.
