Race begins and ends at the gym.
We're Going to France.
You Can Help Us Get There.
We're incredibly proud to announce that for the second year in a row Montezuma Martial Arts Academy will compete at the International Combat Organization (ICO) World Championships.
This year, four of our students, ages 10 to 17, have qualified to compete at the World Championships this Fall, in Thonon-Les-Baines, France. We're so proud of the dedication and hard work these kids have demonstrated to propel them onto the world stage.
Come show your support for these kids by running in our July 4th 5k Fundraiser. Take a lazy river jog with friends in the regular 5k, or challenge yourself with the official Marginally Harder 5k. Not into running, but love a good T-shirt? there's an option for you too!
Let's go, Dolores, and show the world what Southwest Colorado is made of!
Register Now!
No Thanks,
Just Take My Money
Not a runner — but still a champion. No miles required, no strength stations, just pure community support. And yes — you still get the shirt! Pre-registration guarantees yours before day-of sign-ups, so register early while supplies last. We’ll cheer just as loud for you at the finish line.
$45
Payment will be taken at the time of registration. If you need to register more than one person, please submit separate registrations (with separate payments) for each registrant.
