Although for a great cause, I have a love-hate relationship with the Race for the Cure. There's been a bunch of stigma with the Komen foundation over the years, but without getting into that, let's just focus on the race itself. In Denver, it seems this race brings anyone in the state of CO that's a runner into Denver; and everyone that's not a runner as well. I've been doing this race since there was only 100 people and they served bagels at the end and had long sleeved shirts. Now, iconic cotton tees, are your race shirt every year with some play on the pink ribbon. The course is actually a decent course - challenging and fun, but the mass amount of people makes it un-fun. Then again, you're probably not running this race to compete. I'd say this is more a "fun run." It's untimed and like I said before, super crowded. My mom and I do run this race every year to honor my friends and family that are survivors of breast cancer. I'd say, run it to show your support; avoid it if you don't have anyone to support/run with and are looking for a real race. If anything, the expo at the end is worth it - tons of free food samples and swag!
