"Rim to Rim will always have a special place in my heart" 💙 ~ Reanna McConnell

"I’ve taken on both the 8-mile and the half-marathon, and it’s still the most beautiful and most challenging course I’ve ever run. Every mile pushes you, but the views make it unforgettable.
Crossing the Royal Gorge Bridge at the finish is pure magic… especially with friends and family there cheering me on 🙌

"This race is more than just miles, it’s an experience. Incredible organization, the friendliest people, and such a joyful energy from everyone involved.

Already counting down to doing the half-marathon again this year!" 🏃‍♀️✨

Thank you, Reanna! We look forward to cheering you on again this year! ❤

Calling All Angels: A Partnership from the Heart! ~Ainsley's Angels in Colorado

"Rim to Rim 5K has always gone above and beyond in creating an inclusive and meaningful experience for Ainsley’s Angels of Colorado. From the very beginning, their team has been incredibly accommodating, working alongside us to ensure both riders and runners have the best possible experience.

One of the most touching details is seeing our race chair represented in their logo; it truly shows how much they value and recognize our community. They consistently treat our riders, families, and runners with the utmost respect, even taking time before the race to honor Ainsley’s Angels and share about our mission.

While this is one of the most challenging 5Ks in Colorado, it has also become one of our all-time favorites. The support, intentionality, and heart behind this race make it something truly special."

Thank you, Ainsley's Angels. We couldn't imagine race day without you all.
