Join us for Denver's most exciting charitable tradition! Teams race against the clock at Target on Black Friday, armed with $1000 and a mission: find the best deals to maximize gifts for local families in need.
About Aisle Run
HOW IT WORKS
The Challenge: Each team gets $1000 and a wishlist from our beneficiary charity. Your mission? Score the biggest bargains on Black Friday to stretch every dollar and gather the most gifts possible.
The Competition: Teams don't just shop—they compete! After the shopping sprint, each team creatively presents their treasure trove to win prizes for Best Savings and Most Creative Presentation.
The Impact: Every gift goes directly to families in need—including children, homeless teens, and single-parent households. We also provide essential home goods for shelters. Since 2017, this event has become Denver's most anticipated day-after-Thanksgiving tradition, bringing holiday joy to those who need it most!
Why Choose Aisle Run for Kids?
At Aisle Run for Kids, we are dedicated to positively impacting local families in Denver. Our mission is to offer essential holiday resources to those in need, ensuring that children are not left out and families can celebrate the season with joy.
Each year a different local charity is chosen to become the beneficiary of the Aisle Run by the previous year's race participants. The chosen charity is announced November 1.
Join us for a competitive, fun event that brings our community together while spreading holiday cheer and support. Together, we can make a difference!
