Thanks to the 200 fun racers who solved, laughed, and ran their way through the streets of Denver under sunny skies. 

Thanks to LoDo's for being a gracious host for our event.

We can't wait to be back in 2008!

Thanks for all the laughs - some great photos with street performers, some terrible cartwheels, and all the creative team names and uniforms (Fun Girls With Fun Bags, Beer Wenches, Eat Lightning/Crap Thunder, Smarty Pints, Jack and Her Beanstalk, 300 minus 298, and many more). 

Congratulations to Harold Lierly, age 65, for finishing in 52nd place despite suffering a heart attack a few months ago!  Great job!

Land Sharks ran an impressive race, finishing 16 minutes ahead of 2nd place.  Team Conneen, with the Chicago champion Molly joining her brother in Denver, finished in second. Blondes of Fury also ran a great race and finished third.

Quotes from the course:

“Let’s follow them – they look like they know where to go.”

“Yellow truck!  Yellow truck!  Yellow truck!

“Make sure you get off a couple blocks early so you can run in and make it look more dramatic!” - bus driver

We had asked two police officers to help us unscramble the twelve letters for the building on 18th Street.  They saw us later, pulled over in their squad car, and yelled, “The second word has to be tower – hope that helps!”

“What do you mean a cartwheel?”

“Crap, I think that was our bus!”

“I’m missing Idaho!”

“Of course the ambulance is public transportation.”

“That cop might give us a ride if we give him one of our candy bars – we just have to be sure to ask for the wrapper back.”
