From the organizer

Please join the Durango Running Club for the inaugural Earth Day 5K! The race will be on 04/18/26 at 8:30 AM at Rotary Park in Durango. Runners and walkers will go north on the Animas River Trail from Rotary Park, and will run or walk 1.55 miles north to just before 32nd Street. Participants will then turn around and finish at Rotary park. Please note this will be a Zero Waste event. Participants are encouraged to carry their own water.

This event is a fun run/walk format, and there will be no chip timing or prizes.

All proceeds from the race will go to benefit Compañeros. As the only organization in our region with its primary focus on serving immigrants, Compañeros offers unique and crucial services to our community. Services offered by Compañeros include resource navigation, legal services, education outreach, and community engagement. Compañeros website:  https://www.companeros.org

We will look to wrap the race up by 9:30 AM. After the race, stick around for a raffle open to all spectators and participants. After the raffle, stay in town for Durango's Earth Day Celebration. Events include a parade at 10:30 AM from College to Buckley Park, as well as a festival in Buckley Park from 11 AM to 3 PM.

April is usually a beautiful time in Durango, and we cannot wait to see you all at Rotary Park on 04/18!
