Description

Fires claimed a great portion of Colorado's forests this year.  We look forward to the refreshing that the forests will see as they are renewed by tragedy and over time will come back stronger, more beautiful and ever more enjoyable.  Some of the first new growth will be groves of Aspens.  Aspen trees don't grow alone.  They are a grove, a colony, a community.  Without the root structure of each tree bound as one below the topsoil, a solo tree will not thrive, likely topple and surely perish. 

The same holds true for our personal community.  Without one another, we are weak, easily pushed over and seldom thrive alone.  In the midst of a global pandemic, the opportunities to operate as a collective have not vanished, although they have adapted.  Gathering in large groups in the same place at the same time isn't an option for many of us, so we shift, adapt and continue to come together in whatever way we can.  That's what this event is all about.

Join your fellow athletes and TOGETHER we help our charity partners.  TOGETHER we put money and hope into local businesses.  TOGETHER we do good things for our bodies.  TOGETHER we remain STRONG.

COLLECTIVE CHALLENGE

Over the course of 3 days (December 28, 29 & 30, 2020) participants will log as many miles as they can ON FOOT - walking, jogging, hiking, or running miles.  No wheel or ski miles are allowed.  :)  During registration, each participant must choose a 'team' on which to compete.  Teams are named "North, South, East and West."  Your miles will be added to the other members of your 'team.'  Each team has the goal to complete 1000 miles by the end of the challenge.  Each of the teams will be able to view a progress map on which their team 'pin' will move closer to Denver with each mile completed.  Each team starts 1000 miles from Denver on the map.  Participants will also be able to view their own personal miles on a separate map.  Team capacity is limited to 110 registrants each.  Mileage is reported on the honor system.  Bragging rights are on the line here, and who knows, maybe a special prize is in store for the members on the team to reach Denver first!

SWAG

All participants will receive a digital race bib, digital finisher certificate and $10 gift card to RoadID in addition to an exclusive 3W Races virtual event apparel item in the size/gender/material requested. Colors, cut and sleeve length will vary based on current stock. Inventory is gathered from current blank stock on our shelves which keeps the cost to you low and allows us to give more $ to local businesses and charities.   (Did you know that 3W Races prints most of their shirts in-house, right here in Colorado?) Registrants are guaranteed the size/gender/material of shirt selected.  What a fun surprise it will be to see if you got a long sleeved or short sleeved shirt in white or a fun color!  You're also welcome to participate without having a shirt mailed to you for a discount of $5.00.

During registration, participants may also choose to add on a grey hooded sweatshirt or 3W neck gaiter for an additional fee.  Hoody pictured here.

All swag/purchased add ons will be shipped via USPS no later than 12-31-20.  The sooner you sign up, the sooner your swag will be mailed!  There is no in-person pick up for this event.  All packets will be mailed.

 

CHARITY PARTNERS

3W Races usually partners with A Precious Child, Community Table and Broomfield FISH in November and December each year.  However, our physical events have not been able to proceed as planned and EVERYONE is impacted from this - including our charity partners. 

A portion of proceeds from this virtual event will be donated to our charity partners.

You may also donate additional funds directly to these charity partners during registration. Each of these organizations have seen a drastic INCREASE in needs/consumption in recent months. They each have access to larger food bank stores to procure product, but it takes $ from their organization to get it. The good thing is that each dollar they spend getting food goes SO MUCH further than a dollar you or I spend at the grocery store.

BONUS! $25 Gift Card!!

.

Support your local business owners while social distancing AND doing what you love - RUNNING! This win/win/win cycle of turning $ back into prizes and local businesses has become the hallmark of 3W Races pandemic inspired (compelled) events.  No where else can you sign up for a fun running challenge, get cool swag AND win $ toward a local business.  Not to mention, support local charities and know that local businesses are benefiting from your registration.  It doesn't get any more 'Christmas' than this concept!

One in FIVE registrants will WIN a $25 gift card to a local business!  Yes, that's right - $5 from every registration will be used to buy a gift card for a local business.  20% of registrants will WIN one of these gift cards.  If 50 people sign up, 10 people will win.  If 300 people sign up, 60 people will win!  When you win, you'll get to CHOOSE which gift card you'd like!  Additionally, for every 100 people who sign up, we'll pick one additional winner for a $100 gift card!

This event is a WIN WIN WIN kinda fun event!  By participating in this event, you will be doing good for YOU (and your physical and mental health) and you'll be supporting 3W Races, our charity partners AND the following local businesses:
