The Denver Gorilla Run is a charity fun run with a difference. Everyone who takes part wears a full gorilla costume - from fluffy head to furry toe - to raise funds for the Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund, the international charity working to save the world's last remaining mountain gorillas and keeping Dian Fossey?s dream alive for the past 19 years.
You can run, jog, walk, rollerblade, skateboard or take the VIG (very important gorilla) train the nearly 5 mile route that weaves its way around the City of Denver, Colorado. Or if you like, you can do it gorilla style: on all fours!
With your entry, we will provide the gorilla suit (which you can keep afterwards), the spectators, fun and great rides at Six Flags Elitch Gardens. All you have to do is get registered, get fit and get sponsored!
Every participant in The Denver Gorilla Run will represent one of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas - so with just 650 entries available you must register soon to secure your place.
Six Flags Elitch Gardens will shoot the gun at the start line and the finish line is between the Big Wheel and the 20' Gorilla back at Elitches.
