DENVER – Dee Chirafisi and Deviree Vallejo of Kentwood City Properties are sponsoring mile 13 of the 10th Annual Platte River Half-Marathon and Buckhorn Exchange Relay on Sunday, April 15, 2012. A total of 22 Kentwood City runners will participate in the special event benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
“Our Broker Associates and support staff have been very focused in this upcoming race and staying fit and healthy this spring and throughout the year,” said Chirafisi. “We have an amazing team spirit in this office, with several of us even doing a training run on St. Patrick’s Day. The half-marathon is a very rewarding team-building experience, and many of our brokers who cannot run 13 miles have signed up to walk the course or serve as official company cheerleaders.”
“We are pleased to participate in such a worthwhile event to help find a cure for leukemia and lymphoma,” said Vallejo. “Dee and I have run the half-marathon and have been mile sponsors for several years, and it’s extremely gratifying to have so many of our colleagues join us for this year’s event. The course is fun and challenging, and the post-race festivities are particularly rewarding because everyone knows that they have helped those stricken with serious illnesses.”
The Platte River Half-Marathon is certified by the USATF and was recognized as Colorado Runner Magazine’s “Best Half-Marathon” in 2009 and “Best Post-Race Party” last year. A post-race meal is provided to all race participants. There is also live music and free light-rail transportation to the downtown Littleton station.
