About this Event
Honoring lives lost to trauma. Remembering Grace. Supporting families.
The 4th Annual Grace Baca Memorial 5K Walk/Run is more than a race—it's a day to remember, heal, and celebrate lives that continue to inspire us.
This year is especially meaningful. Grace would have been starting high school. She loved to dance, and we know she would have been cheering on her friends from the sidelines, the dance floor, or the stands. In her honor, we're inviting dance studios, poms teams, and cheer programs from across Colorado to be part of this special day.
NEW! The Grace Spirit Challenge - Up to a $5,000 Award
Calling all dance studios, poms teams, and cheer squads!
Register five (5) or more participants from your team or studio and attend the 4th Annual Grace Baca Memorial 5K Walk/Run to be automatically entered for a chance to receive up to a $5,000 award in Grace's memory to support your program.
Whether it's for uniforms, competition fees, choreography, equipment, scholarships, or other team needs, this award is our way of investing in the next generation of dancers and athletes while honoring Grace's passion for dance.

A family-friendly 5K walk/run for all ages and abilities
