With temperatures in the middle teens and snow covering the Washington Park course, only 450 of the 1,600 registered runners and walkers showed up for the annual Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis 5K. Ofer Barniv of Golden led from the gun and won by nearly 90 seconds in 17:33. When asked how the course conditions were, he replied: "I only slipped a few times, so it wasn't really that bad."

Female winner Sonja Wieck used some traction devices on her shoes while running to a 21:34 second victory. The top three women were only seperated by 24 seconds.

Matias Fernandez of Aurora (1779), Alexander Hulse (5758) and Steve Pye (back) run together near the 2M mark. Matias finished second in 18:58, Alex was third in 19:00 and Steve was fourth in 19:02.

Michel Kucera of Aurora was the second female to finish, running 21:42.

Angie Anderson of Denver finished as the third female in 21:58.
