Outreach Committee: 

Mission Statement: The purpose of the Outreach Committee is to promote outreach for all runners (both club members and potential club members). If you are a person who wants to run, then we want to make you feel welcome!

As of 2022, the club owns the Horsetooth Half Marathon, the FireKracker 5k, the Resolution Run, the Tortoise and Hare series, and the NoCo All- Comers Track Meet Series. We collaborate with the race directors to make sure the races run smoothly and are profitable enough to support the Club’s programs. In addition, we strive to provide the FCRC members and our community with an enjoyable and competitive race experience at a reasonable price.
