From the Race Organizer
Join OCA Colorado for the annual 5K Panda Run & 1K Fun Walk, a fun-filled community event with a powerful purpose: helping local students pursue higher education right here in the Denver area, including Metro State University of Denver, University of Colorado Denver, Community College of Denver, and University of Denver. Every dollar raised goes directly toward scholarships supporting students and helping them achieve their educational goals. Through the OCA Colorado Education Fund, established in 2019, OCA Colorado has already contributed more than $530,000 in scholarships across its partner institutions to help students achieve their higher educational goals. This year the OCA 5K Panda Run & 1K Walk is aiming even higher with a goal of raising $100,000 in scholarship support. Don’t Like Running? No problem--Pandas Don’t Run! Join the fun by registering for the 1K Panda Walk, and walk with us in support of local students.
