Washington Park - Jingle Bell Run

Denver is an active city.  Not a day goes by that you won’t see a jogger, a bicyclist, a walker or someone playing catch with their dog.  The weather doesn’t hold back a true Colorado resident.  So, why not have a charity run in December?

The Rocky Mountain Arthritis Foundation will be hosting their annual Jingle Bell Run at Washington Park on December 12th.  This event is a popular one and brings out runners, and walkers, in support of their neighbors and friends with arthritis.  Most participants accessorize with items of the season.  It is not unusual to see and hear runners jingling down the Washington Park trail with antlers and Santa hats.

While Washington Park is a beautiful venue for fundraisers throughout the year, there is something special about a winter event.  The historic homes surrounding the park are snowcapped and decorated for the holidays.  Wash park is one of Denver‘s busiest, but in these cold months is takes on a sense of calm serenity.
