The 4th annual Be A Tool 5k Run (On Small Business Saturday) is being held to help support the growth of the Neighborhood Rehab Project (coined Be A Tool) – which is a non-profit based out of Golden, CO. Our focus is addressing safe, dry, warm, & quality of life issues for homeowners in need. In September of this year over 1,000 volunteers came together in Golden, Arvada & Englewood to help work on projects for folks in need of warm, safe and dry conditions.
Proceeds from this race will go directly toward future projects in 2017 & 2018.
The 5K begins at 8:30 a.m. under the Howdy Folks arch. Save your bibs because participants will receive a free pancake breakfast and a chance to win one of many give-away prizes. Men’s & women’s 1st, 2nd & 3rd overall winner will receive a medal.
Register early, the first 200 registrants will receive an Elf hat. This is an incredibly fun, family friendly event! Put on your most festive holiday attire and come join us for a fun morning of activities supporting Small Business Saturday as well as a great cause!
