This race has grown from being a small community event (previously called LaunchCARES Charity Race) to a county-wide effort of uniting people and companies who CARE. We are thrilled to announce the charity recipients of the 2026 race - - - COMFORT CASES and COVENANT LIFE SCHOOL (our location host)! Both of these organizations work diligently to improve the lives of children in and around MoCo.
