The Susan G. Komen Denver Race for the Cure kicked off early this morning at the Pepsi Center.
There were about 53,849 participants and more than $2 million was raised for breast cancer research and breast health projects, said Michele Ostrander, executive director for the Komen Denver Affiliate.
The morning’s three events started at 7 a.m. with an untimed 5K co-ed run, followed by the 5K co-ed walk and the 1-mile family walk.
The top three participating cancer survivors to cross the finish line were Diane Groff in first place, Susan Perrigo in second place and Hellen Hertzog-Mang in third place, Ostrander said.
