Wash Park Running Company Launch and Community Run
Wash Park Running Company is an online running boutique. We source high-quality, eco-friendly gear and have a small one-of-one upcycled collection. This brand was created to celebrate the running culture, neighborhood traditions, and people that make the park a special community.
In addition to sourcing products with less impact, we are also dedicated to giving back. We donate 10% of profits to local charities. This year, 2026, we are donating to the Food Bank of the Rockies.
Our soft launch collection features a running hat, tote bag, and one-of-one upcycled items. Our official launch includes men's and women's technical running shirts, women's athletic tank tops, unisex casual t-shirts, tote bags, and a restock of runner hats (our women's hats sold out on the first day!).
Our official launch is on June 20 at 7 AM. We are hosting an 8-mile community run starting at Roast Coffee on Mississippi and Pearl. Everyone is welcome! We have pace groups for 7min/mi through 12+min/mi and a stroller group
