Denver Marathon Offers Celebrity Inspiration Run For Charity, Bidding Begins September 28th

This year the organizers of the Denver Marathon have created an opportunity for runners to run with a favorite celebrity while helping those in need. The Denver Marathon Celebrity Inspiration Run will take place on a two-mile relay on the marathon course. The marathon occurs on Sunday, October 14th and the course runs through Denver, Colorado.

“With the Denver Marathon Celebrity Inspiration Run, the goal is to encourage everyday people to find the inspiration to run with someone they admire while benefiting a worthy charity,” race director Anton Villatoro said in a prepared statement.
