Registration is Open! 

Make plans now to join Literacy Outreach for the annual running of the Glenwood Canyon Shuffle Race for Literacy! Join us October 7th for the half-marathon or 5-K run/walk through the spectacular Glenwood Canyon.  You will be entered as we shuffle the deck for Literacy Outreach with the best poker hand winning $100 and the second place hand winning $50.  All participants receive an amazing long-sleeve tee shirt incorporating the creative talents of local artist Randy Schroeder this year.   

The half-marathon starts at 9 a.m. sharp with the 5-K following at 10 a.m.   Buses will carry participants from the finish line at the No Name exit in Glenwood Canyon to the race starting points.  

Take advantage of the early-bird special entry pricing before September 7th.  The entry fee for the half-marathon is $40 per person and the fee for the 5-K is $25 per person.  Entry fee prices jump an additional $5 per person for both events after September 7th and another $5 per person on race day.  Online registration is available at www.Active.com.  For more information, call 970-945-5282.

Spellebration!

Spellebration is an adult spelling bee and silent auction for Literacy Outreach and the CMC Learning Labs. Teams of three costumed spellers make their way through increasingly challenging list of words. Teams can spell or buy their way to bragging rights as the best spellers in Garfield County.

Anyone willing to join in the fun and also support adult literacy in Garfield County is encouraged to assemble a team, locate a sponsor, chose a costume and come play with the festive crowd on April 7, 2017. To sign up, or to get more information, call Literacy Outreach at 970-945-5282.

In addition, local businesses who would like to sponsor a team can call Literacy Outreach, as can donors who wish to contribute to the silent auction.
