The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is a fabulous race in Lakewood, Colorado that benefits the local GiGi’s Playhouse Denver Down Syndrome Achievement Center.  

GiGi’s Playhouse Denver is part of a network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers committed to supporting individuals of all ages with Down syndrome through research-based programs that promote skill development, growth and independence. Because we never want price to be a barrier to achievement, our programs always have been and always will be FREE! 

At GiGi’s Playhouse, we have a number of physical therapy-based programs that encourage our participants to move their body for health, strength and mental fitness. 

The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is an opportunity for us to ask our community to move with us as we celebrate not only our loved ones with Down Syndrome but all who stand out as different and have to work for acceptance each day.  

We all look the same in the dark so let your uniqueness GLOW!  

There will be a timed 5k glow run, 1 mile walk, kids dash, live DJ, food trucks and more fun! 

All proceeds go directly back to GiGi’s Playhouse Denver to support the FREE educational, therapeutic and career development programming that we provide to individuals with Down syndrome of all ages, their families and community members!
