Cinco-Cinco 5K Takes Racers Around the CSU Oval

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, the 17th Annual Cinco-Cinco 5K Run/Walk and Children’s Fun Run took place in Fort Collins, COLO. The race is held in honor of Gil Gutierrez, Obudsman at Colorado State University from 1969 to 1993, who was hit by a drunk driver while he was jogging in August of 1993.

The course stretches around the CSU campus and393 people came out to run, jog, or walk this year. Emily Hutson, Teresa O’Brien and Heather Wilhelm took to the course, not only to raise awareness of drunk driving, but simply for the fun of it.

Note: I know the Cinco-Cinco is off the topic of my beat, but I figure this 5K is the first of many races that will be taking place, in mountain towns or not, this summer.
