We will run this event rain or shine! :)

This is THE race for ALL. THE. GOODIES.

The Colorado Women's Classic is about the POSITIVE parts of being in a community of women...and the men around here support this event very well, too!

So many women run this event with their training buddies - run partners, sisters, mothers, daughters and granddaughters and now open to the men in your life too! We hope YOU can join us again on Mother's Day!

13. A remarkable MEDAL for 10 Miler Finishers

14. FREE PHOTO DOWNLOADS so you can share your Mother's Day Memories with everyone

Grab those tutus and come run with us to raise money for the Colorado Conservatory of Dance. This run/walk will be a party full of smile, music, and dancing! The 5K is a 3 loop course on a combination of dirt trail and sidewalk at Broomfield County Commons Park. The course is on beautiful open space with mountain views. Bring the kids for the 1 mile fun run!

The Colorado Conservatory of Dance is a nonprofit organization in Broomfield Colorado. CCD has served over 9,000 people each year for more than 30 years through education, outreach, and performance.

CCD is a dance home to young and old and is a strong beautiful community.

The Tutu Dash has been organized to help reach our overall goal of $50,000 to assist with our move to your new studio space. Thank you for your willingness to support CCD so we can save our dance home.
