Event Description
We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and everything in between! The month of May is First Responders Month, and we would love for you to join us! This is a family-friendly event to raise funds for the First Responders of Buena Vista and to honor Billy Cordova, a man who left an impact with everyone he met. Billy was a husband, father, and son before anything else - he loved spending time with his family! Beyond that, he served on many roles as a Battalion Chief with Chaffee County Fire Department, a reserve deputy with Chaffee County Sherriff's Department, a volunteer enforcement officer with the Division of Wildlife, and he was a volunteer with Chaffee County Search & Rescue. What's more, Billy loved big equipment and owned Marv's Construction Company.
Our 5K and Family Fun Run & Walk will start and finish at BV Rodeo Grounds, and the course will travel to, and through, the location for the park. The 5K will have a 3.1 mile course, and the Family Fun Run will have a 1.5 mile course. Runners will wind through the Sunset Vista neighborhood, back to the BV Rodeo Grounds for a grand finish!
Both events will start at 10 am (new for 2024)! We encourage families to join together, bring strollers, wagons, and backpacks to ensure that our young runners make the whole course! This course is stroller friendly! There may be a few bumpy sections on trail, but overall it's very smooth. Our babies who join along in strollers can just enjoy the ride (no registration necessary for them).
Race Shirts:
All participants of the 5K & Family Fun Run & Walk WILL receive a race shirt which is included in your registration price.
There is an option to choose NOT to receive a shirt for either event.
Commemorative Shirts:
Additional race shirts will be available via One Love Endurance Events' online store which is LOCATED HERE. We will have a local pickup location at the event. Online orders that are to be picked up on race day should be ordered by Sunday, May 12th. After this time, additional shirts can be purchased at the event (if available) OR through our One Love Endurance Events online store. There will be more available and delivered in June 2024.
Registration Limits:
Registration will be capped at a certain number (to be determined). It will stay open to race day as long as there are still spots available!
