No, we are not too old! EHS staff run the Colfax Marathon, Half and Relay

Pirateer Staff|May 20, 2019

In a bid to show students they still have fight and are fit, EHS staff took part in the Colfax Marathon annual event this past weekend.
The Englewood Campus had THREE relay teams run the Denver’s Colfax Marathon on Sunday, in addition to several staff members running individual races with the 10 miler, half marathon or full marathon.  We all ran in support of Englewood Education Foundation.  Sean Stetler’s team came in 18th overall…wow!  If you see your colleagues walking with a limp, make sure you give them a high five!
