Why We Run
We are running to support 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 workshops for young people, connecting them with each other and the larger community to create a ripple of empathy and understanding. The Colfax Marathon has a 5k, 10-mile, half marathon and marathon option. 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.
