Support DPS students at Achieve Gala 2025!

Colfax Marathon

This race provides one of many ways that individuals have supported DPS students, educators and families in the past–by running (literally!) for DPS students! 

The Colfax Marathon has historically always been Denver’s largest running weekend, featuring a variety of races including the Marathon, Marathon Relay, Half Marathon, Urban 10 Miler, and a 5K. With events suited for all levels of runners and walkers, it’s a fun-filled few days with an expo and races for everyone.

A day of fun and supporting DPS students, educators and families!

How You Can Get Involved

Run and Help Fundraise

A unique aspect of Colfax is its focus on nonprofit partnerships, and the Denver Public Schools Foundation is proud to be one of them. When you run for the DPS Foundation, you can help fundraise to support more than 86,000 students across more than 200 schools.

Donate and Raise Awareness

If fundraising isn’t your thing, you can still make a personal donation or help raise awareness as an ambassador for the Foundation. Participation – whether it’s running, donating or fundraising makes a difference for our students, educators and families.
