HELPING LOCAL NONPROFITS TAKE OFF

Join the Grand Junction Sports Commission for the first-ever GJT Runway Run Series. Run the secondary runway of the Grand Junction Regional Airport in either the 5k, 2k, or 1k distances. The 5k will kick off the day, with an adaptive wave in partnership with United Way of Mesa County. Bring the whole family and let your little jets take off in the FREE kids 1k. If that isn't enough running for a great cause, join in on some costumed canine fun with the Howl-O-Ween 2k. There will be an award for the best-dressed human and pooch.
