Our democracy is still under pressure. From voter suppression to attacks on the rights and freedoms we count on. In an election year, sitting it out isn't an option. The work of protecting these values falls to the people willing to show up for it. That's us.

Join the Democratic Party of Denver for the 2026 Dash for Democracy 5K Run / 2K Walk, a morning in City Park that turns into real fuel for the campaigns ahead. Every registration helps us register voters, knock doors, and back Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in November. Whether you're racing the clock or walking it with friends, kids, and the dog, there's a place for you at the starting line.

Lace up, show up, and let's defend democracy one step at a time.
