The end of one year, and the beginning of a new one, provides for many the opportunity to reflect upon goals not yet achieved and those to be created. JDRF celebrates the many goals and research advances made this past year and has developed aggressive goals for the year ahead as we seek to find cures for type 1 diabetes, and in the meantime improve the lives of those living with T1D.

You can help us reach our goal of a world without T1D while setting and achieving your OWN goals through one of our endurance programs.

Colfax Marathon Weekend: May 16-17, 2020

Join Team JDRF for the 15^th Anniversary Denver Colfax Marathon through miles, medals, and most importantly moments! This is your moment to help create a world without T1D at Denver’s largest running weekend, with races of varying distances to choose from including the Marathon, Half Marathon, Urban 10-Miler, Marathon Relay, and 5k.

To join Team JDRF:

1. Register for the race of your choice at runcolfax.org. During the registration process you will be asked “Are you raising funds or awareness for a charity?” Select “Yes” and choose “JDRF Rocky Mountain.” Even if you aren’t planning on fundraising, selecting JDRF as your charity partner can still generate cash prizes to benefit T1D research.
2. You’ll receive an email from your JDRF team with an introduction to Team JDRF as well as information on setting up a fundraising page. Set your fundraising goal and develop a plan with your JDRF Team to reach it. We are committed to supporting your training and fundraising goals before and throughout race weekend, and can’t wait to celebrate with you at the finish line!
