Event Description
Our 5K and Family Fun Run will start and finish at BV Rodeo Grounds, and the course will travel to, and through, the location for the park. Runners will wind through the Sunset Vista neighborhood and back to the BV Rodeo Grounds for a grand finish! First Responders should contact the race director for a special discount code.
Extra race shirts may be available after the event for anyone that would like to purchase one.

Following the run, there will be a cookout, yard games, and face painting for all participants. The cookout will include a hotdog, chips, and a drink for $10. The proceeds will go towards the event beneficiaries. Then we will have the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Billy Cordova Memorial Park. Please join us for any of these events!
This run is stroller friendly! There may be a few bumpy sections on trail, but overall it's very smooth. Littles who ride along in strollers need not register. We welcome all runners, joggers, and walkers!
We honor Billy Cordova and First Responders. Billy was a man who left an impact with everyone he met. He 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 Rescue, 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.
