We're the KOOL 105 Cause of the Month!

Our Charity Partners program is a big success. We've got 41 local charities using the marathon to raise funds and awareness for their causes.

Some of the highlights include:

45 men fighting homelessness and addiction will run the Colfax Marathon on May 18 for The Denver Rescue Mission!
