Exercise 5K Group
Here are some upcoming 5Ks to consider:
1. Denver Skirtchaser 5K http://www.skirtchaser5k.com/ Really fun idea, but a bit pricey...the course is pretty flat though...always a PLUS!

2. Run for Charities 5K http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1757884&assetId=E0012CE0-49A7-4A9B-9180-B7BD1A7B062C Good price, and fun course! (around Elitches!) ***I'm leaning towards doing this one myself ;)

3. D'Evelyn Dash Fundraiser 5K http://www.develyneducationfoundation.com/index.cfm?content=page&page=DEvelynDash This one benefits the High School, and has an interesting cross-country style course. Too busy for my preggo belly, but I would definitely try next year! The best part about this one is that it is cheap! $20 including t-shirt! This is just a fun-type run, official times will not be posted anywhere.

***if you hear of any other good ones, or have a better idea for something active to do, let me know; I know not everyone is into running! :)
