Lace up your running shoes for the ASDAsh 5K to Beat Tooth Decay, an inspiring race set to take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Aurora, Colorado. This annual event, hosted by the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, offers participants a unique opportunity to combine fitness with philanthropy, with all proceeds from the 2026 race benefiting the Veterans Assistance Grant, providing crucial dental care to veterans in Colorado.

The revamped 5K course winds through the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, starting and ending at the Library Commons. Runners and walkers can anticipate a dynamic route that features the distinctive "Meatball Mile" within mile two, a designated Strava Segment where participants can vie for the coveted King or Queen of the Mountain titles. This unique segment promises a fun challenge for those looking to push their limits. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant weather, with highs around 62°F and lows around 33°F, and only a 6% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal setting for a springtime run.

Beyond the scenic campus course and the spirited Meatball Mile, the ASDAsh 5K is known for its vibrant post-race celebration. Participants receive a t-shirt, goody bag, and raffle tickets for a chance to win exciting prizes such as Lulu Lemon gift cards and Yeti Coolers. The festivities continue at Milieu Fermentation, featuring food trucks and a custom beverage, where awards are given to the top three male and female finishers. Packet pick-up begins at 9:00 AM, with the race starting at 10:00 AM, and convenient parking is available at the Julesburg Visitor Lot. Join the ASDAsh 5K to enjoy a rewarding run, celebrate with the community, and contribute to a vital cause.
