This free program is much more than a walk in the woods! It is about connecting with the natural world through sensory experiences. It is about being in nature rather than just moving through it.

Calling heroes of every age and ability - we need you!
We're coming together to support something bigger than ourselves. The Angelman Strong Superhero 5K & All-Abilities Fun Run. This is more than a race, it's a mission, a mission to support those living with Angelman syndrome, a rare condition that effects communication, movement, and learning, but never the strength of the human spirit.

Walk, run, or roll. However you move, you move us forward. Being a hero isn't about superpowers, it's about showing up.

All proceeds support the Angelman Syndrome Foundation in funding research, clinical care, and transformative family support programs.

We received $2,200 from Ute Pass Kiwanis, $1,000 from Lyons Club.
With these wonderful partners, this total was brought to $10,610.

Additionally, CHE (Colorado Homeschool Enrichment, Community Partnership Family Resource Center, Aspen Mine Center have also sponsored 14 students (outside of our funding)!

About the venue...

105 West Brewing Company and Bear’l Cellars are Veteran owned and were established as gratuity-free establishments. From our beginning we choose to pay our staff a living wage, because we believe that being a part of a community means taking care of those around us.

From time to time, our generous patrons would leave something extra behind. Turns out our staff believes in taking care of those around us as well. So, they decided to pool any cash left behind and donate it to a local charity.
