*Note: Wave starts occur at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM. The event is organized by "The Best Races" and features a unique logistics model where all participation swag—including the running t-shirt and finisher's medal—is shipped directly to the runner's home, eliminating the need for a traditional packet pickup. Logistics and Participant Information: -- Wave System: To maintain a private group feel, runners are capped per wave. Participants must email their desired start time (7:30, 8:00, or 8:30 AM) to [email protected]. -- Timing Policy: There are no timing chips to reduce stress. Athletes can track their own time via apps like Strava or Nike Run and submit them online, or ask coordinators for manual tracking assistance. -- Swag Delivery: Shirts and towels are shipped to the registered US address during the week of the race. Bibs are the only item provided on-site on race day. -- Virtual Option: A virtual registration is available for $41.58, which includes a digital training pack and a shipped medal upon submission of results. -- Charity Impact: Through the "Best Races Journey," the organizers donate $1 to charity for every mile logged after the race, encouraging continued fitness and social contribution. -- Community Support: Registration includes an invitation to join local running clubs and access to a digital training pack to help runners achieve their personal fitness goals. By focusing on the journey rather than just the clock, the Run for Mental Health provides a welcoming space for participants of all ages and paces to support a vital cause in the Denver/Aurora community.
