Went out to Colorado for a half marathon and found the Kickin' Kids 5K in Loveland. They have races throughout the US. I registered a few days before the race, and missed out on the T Shirt (which is fine with the amount of T Shirts I have). If you registered after the T Shirt date, you could buy shirts there for $15.

Location: Held at The Ranch in Loveland, a multi event complex, you had to be on the look out for which area because there were other events going on!

Packet Pick up: Day of the race, quick and easy, no frills at all.

Pre/Post race: had some smaller vendors and local vendors, had water, food, t shirt sales, etc going on.

The course: Flat and took you out of the ranch, on to road and in a loop. On the way back in, you were taken around The Ranch some and ended up going past where we came out of the start, doing a hair pin turn and then back into the start/finish area. Only downside is that there was no water on the course itself, it was only at the finish.

Originally, this race was called Cooper's 5K and was started by his parents after he was diagnosed with Kawasaki's. He ended up with heart damage as a complication and the purpose of the race is to raise awareness and fundraise. Kind of cool that the team from Denver Children's who took care of him came down as a team!
