It had been five long years since the El Grito Community 5K Race & Walk had been held in Denver’s Westside. Covid put a stop to that and a lot more in 2020. People stopped gathering for social and community functions and El Grito was no exception.
After a few years of absence the El Grito community fun run/walk is back and better than ever. This year’s event and course has moved from its traditional starting point at the Buckhorn Exchange restaurant at 10th & Osage to the Auraria campus in Downtown Denver. The new course will take participants through the original and now historic Auraria westside neighborhood. Entry is $30 and includes a commemorative T-shirt, breakfast burritos, beer and tons of fun.
