2023 Friendsgiving Fun Run

Each year Andy Diaz puts on a 5K charity race and puts it on entirely with the help of volunteers and our community. This year, they will be donating to DAVA (Downtown Aurora Visual Arts). You can check out more about them at DAVArts.org, and you can check out more about our past events on IG at @Friendsgiving_FunRun.

They wanted to create an event that TRULY helped the community. So, they've trimmed the fat on "normal" race things like swag you are never going to wear, takeaways that end up in the garbage etc.. and put the focus on raising money for different institutions.

With the help of our community, you can still have fun race takeaways but with focus on usability and sustainability in everything that they do. (Some past examples include sticker sheets, recyclable 40 oz 'trophy' water bottles, raffles, etc..)

They have partnered with Cheluna this year to host us and also have sponsorship from Liquid Death and a handful of local artisans and makers!
