The Durango and Cortez Adult Education Center is delighted to announce our annual fun run! The Fast and the Curious is a 5k/10k run that not only celebrates physical fitness but also highlights cognitive fitness. In this way, the race spotlights our dedication to education as well as the irrefutable link between physical health and mental well-being. The run benefits our nonprofit Education Center where our mission is to fill educational gaps by providing the knowledge and skills necessary for living-wage careers, post-secondary education, and social and economic mobility.

How it Works

Competitors in The Fast and the Curious fun run will trace an out-and-back 5K or 10K route along Durango’s scenic river trail. But completing the race is only half the battle! Participants can shave off some of their running time by answering multiple-choice quiz questions that reflect what our adult students are learning.

Quiz topics include high school level math, science, social studies, and language arts, taken directly from our GED practice exams. The quiz also includes questions on the U.S. government that are part of the U.S. Citizenship exam. Correct answers can change the outcome of the race!

You may run fast but can you think faster?
