Denver, CO — June 24, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Stack Endurance, in partnership with Mascot Sports and HAL Sports, is proud to announce the return of the 4th Annual Denver Rocks Run 5K/10K, taking place on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at City Park in Denver.

Following a record-breaking turnout in 2024, this year’s race promises even more energy, inclusivity, and local flavor. Among the exciting updates for 2025 is the introduction of Team Hoyt Denver as the race’s official charity partner.

Running With Purpose: Welcoming Team Hoyt Denver

New for this year, the Denver Rocks Run is proud to support Team Hoyt Denver, a nonprofit inspired by the legendary Team Hoyt father-son duo. Their mission is to empower individuals with disabilities to experience the thrill and accomplishment of participating in endurance events. They do this by pairing “athlete riders” with volunteer runners who push them in specialized racing chairs—ensuring everyone, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to cross the finish line.

“We are honored to be named the official charity partner of the 2025 Denver Rocks Run,” said Stacey Hicks, President of Team Hoyt Denver. “This partnership is an incredible opportunity to showcase what’s possible when inclusion is at the heart of endurance sports. Together with the Denver community, we’ll ensure that every athlete—regardless of ability—can feel the joy, freedom, and triumph of crossing the finish line.”

The partnership aligns perfectly with the mission of the GameDay Run Series to celebrate community, determination, and accessibility in sport.

“Team Hoyt exemplifies the spirit of inclusion and determination that we strive to highlight in every GameDay Run,” said Jamie Smith, Director of Experiential Marketing at Stack Sports. “We’re proud to support their mission and amplify their impact through this partnership.”
