关于赛事
The Run for the Ring 5K/Walk and Kids Fun Run is celebrating its 10th year running! Over the past 10 years, this event 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. Runners, walkers, and strollers can participate in the professionally-timed 5K on a USATF certified course around the Anschutz Medical Campus. Starting and finishing at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, runners of all levels and ages are welcome! Kids ages 2-10 can also participate in the Kids Fun Run, zooming around the Kids Zone while parents and loved ones cheer, high-five, and spray them with squirt guns. Before the Fun Run, kids are free to play in bounce houses, mazes, and other fun outdoor activities also 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!
Registration Information
Registration for both the 5K and Fun Run includes breakfast bites, timing chip (5K only), race bib, and Run for the Ring performance t-shirt. Those with type 1 diabetes will also have the option of receiving a special “I’m the 1” t-shirt, and all participants can decorate a back bib that says “Running for my 1” to honor their type 1 loved one! Must register by July 13, 2024 to guarantee a shirt. Top individual runners, teams, and fundraisers will also be recognized in the awards ceremony.
Running not your thing? Our Sleep-In Registration allows you to donate to the cause without participating on event day, and includes a Run for the Ring performance t-shirt (mailed to the participant).
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please bring another adult to watch your children while you are running.
