\"Gorilla

Gorilla Run Fundraiser<\/p><\/div>\n

This is a 5.6k run through downtown Denver with everyone dressed up like gorillas!<\/p>\n

This year’s race is particularly special as the race is attempting to establish a new Guinness World Records\u2122 currently holding at 637 “People Dressed as Gorillas.”<\/p>\n

The Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund has been dedicated to the preservation of the Mountain Gorilla ever since Dian Fossey asked for help back in 1985. AWR supports their efforts to keep the highly endangered Mountain Gorilla alive in the jungles of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.<\/p>\n

You can help!\u00a0 You can donate to this great cause on-line with your credit card, or you can run with the AWR team in Denver!\u00a0 Donate here and list “AWR” as who you are supporting:<\/p>\n
