Race details and community features
All registrants receive a short-sleeve, gender-specific T-shirt. Every finisher in the 5k and the half marathon receives a finisher medal. The organizer states the courses are well measured, marked, and supported. The Erie event often features hot-air balloons visible in the early morning sky.
The race hosts a food drive for Boulder County’s Sister Carmen; bringing five non-perishable items on race day enters a participant in the race-day raffle. Most-needed items include canned beans, toiletries (for example deodorant and soap), and grains such as rice, pasta, and cereals. The event also partners with Sneakers4Funds to collect gently used or new athletic shoes; donations support the charity Growing Home and can be dropped off at advanced packet pickup or on race day.
This event is an official qualifier for BolderBoulder. Discounted pricing is available when bundling dates within the Hometown Race Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
