_ The 2021 The Fast and the Curious 5k/10k:
Run fast or think faster in this fun run benefitting the Durango and Cortez Adult Education Center and its mission to fill educational gaps and leverage individuals into living-wage careers, post-secondary education, and social and economic mobility.
Competitors in The Fast and the Curious fun run will trace an out-and-back 5k or 10k route along the city's scenic river trail. Simple as it seems, vanquishing this event requires a clever combination of brawns and brains. In order to nab a fastest finisher prize, participants can run fast or think faster. Either they can blaze a trail or trot along and then, at the end of the route, participants have the option to shave time off their finish line results by correctly answering quiz questions drawn from the GED and citizenship tests our students regularly encounter.
This run's concept was inspired by our organization's dedication to education plus a slew of recent publications underscoring the reciprocal link between physical health and mental well-being. This link is proving crucial as society emerges from the physical and mental restraints resulting from repeated pandemic lockdowns.
What better than a fun run with brain games to jumpstart our community's recovery?
