As the halls get decked and the Santa lists are made, the holiday season is rapidly approaching!
To kick off the season in Denver’s most historic and festive neighborhood, Denver Union Station, McGregor Square, and Dairy Block, in partnership with Brunch Running, will host the second annual Dashing Thru LoDo Fun Run – a .8 mile family-friendly dash through the decked-out streets of LoDo.
The Dashing Thru LoDo Holiday Fun Run is designed to be accessible for everyone—runners, walkers, kids, dogs, and holiday costume enthusiasts.
The FREE dash will begin at Denver Union Station and head through LoDo to Dairy Block and McGregor Square, finishing back at Union Station – just under a mile of holiday fun! Families, friends, pets, and festive attire are welcome! After the race, dashers can enjoy sponsor tents and specials and discounts on food, drinks, and local shopping throughout the neighborhood.
