Guidelines for Festival   -   Performance Schedules

 

I have attended this event, parked several blocks from Sloan's Lake, brought my bike, and rode around the lake.     The races were fun to watch with the teams showing pride and camaraderie, and the vendors offered a variety of fun and wares from different parts of the world.     It was a great way to spend an afternoon with Denver's nice weather!   Wear sunscreen!

Hi, Joan. This sounds like a lot of fun and the water setting will be perfect with all this heat we are experiencing. I would love to do the 5K, but I would walk it. My knees don't like to run anymore.
