11in x 17in Fed Cup Poster .pdf (Tabloid size) FREE GIFT Informationposted 04-02-08
There has been some confusion about the free gift we're giving away to the first 150 people to register on Active.com.
Just to be clear, the free gift is NOT a magazine subscription, some sort of gift card promo, or a discount off of other
Active.com events! Those are solely Active.com offers, and we have no affiliation with those promotions.
Our FREE GIFT is a very nice 25th running commemorative item. What is it? Well, that's just one of the many surprises in store for
this year, but we promise it's cool! How will you know if you're one of the first 150? Just go to the merchandise table on race day and ask. We'll have a list direct from Active with the 150 names eligible for the free gift. Come at any time during the event to claim your prize. Door Prize Announcementposted 03-14-08
Every year our sponsors always provide us with lots of very nice door prizes, but this year we've received a prize we need to tell you
about in advance.
The City of Lakewood has donated a Gift Certificate for the Homestead at Fox Hollow Golf Course! This prize, valued at
$200, is redeemable for green fees & carts for four!
So, how do you enter the door prize drawing? It's easy! The door prize ticket is already attached to your race bib. Just rip off
that tag (and ONLY that tag) and bring it to the merchandise table. The collection canister will be there. You can drop the tag off
before or after the race, and we'll annouce a "last call" for entries before the drawings begin. Good luck! Stay tuned for more Door Prize announcements! Reggie Rivers to Emceeposted 03-10-08He's back! Reggie Rivers, former Denver Bronco and News 4 Sports Anchor, will once again be our guest emcee. He's helped us with many of our races, and we're proud to have him host our 25th running!

Well, that's just one of the surprises in store for you this year. Sign up online to find out Lots of new content!posted 02-19-08
It's time to rediscover this website as a lot of long promised content has been added. The RACE INFO section now features an article
describing the genesis of this race. As we approach the 25th running, it's a fascinating look back at how this all began.
You can see the the new 2008 course map and elevation chart in the "RACE MAP" area. Yet more construction on the Denver Federal
Center has forced us to change the course from last year. So, look hard, but don't worry- we'll mark the course well on race day.
The "HALL OF FAME" now contains the top male and female finishes since 1994, as well as the overall top 100 finishes since 1994. The
same information will be posted for the walkers soon. What's coming? Glad you asked. Photos are coming! In Herds! In Droves! In slide show form... We'll let you know when they'll debut. A newsletter will also be distributed soon, so watch your inbox. 2008 Updates Begin!posted 02-13-08We can tell by the increasing traffic to this website that there are plenty of people interested in this year's race. You all have probably been wondering: "Where's the '08 info?" Well no need to worry! Starting from this point on, the updates will be flowing. The 2008 race markes the 25th RUNNING of the Federal Cup 5k, and we are planning quite the celebration. As all the plans come together, we'll post them here.
