Heart to Heart 5K returns Sept. 27, 2026
& supports patients with cardiac care costs

Boulder Community Health is proud to partner with Boulderthon to present the 3rd Annual Heart to Heart 5K on Sept. 27, 2026 in Downtown Boulder to raise funds for our Boulder Heart patients to support treatment and management of their cardiac health, wellness and recovery. We look forward to running, jogging and walking with you Sept. 27.

Run, walk or donate for heart health

All finishers will receive a race medal, limited-edition lululemon shirt ($88 value) and timing chip.

Donations made during registration directly support the Heart to Heart Fund, a patient assistance program that helps cardiac patients manage the financial burdens of ongoing cardiovascular treatment. This year’s event will bring together 2,500 runners, joggers and walkers for one of the Top 5K race experiences in the country, all for a remarkable cause.

Why heart health matters

More than half of people in the U.S. (51%) do not know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in our country, for men and women, according to recent data shared by the American Heart Association. Heart disease, though, has been the #1 killer for more than a century – and this lack of knowledge and awareness is potentially deadly.

Every 34 seconds in the U. S. - an adult dies from cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – CDC). These are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and friends—all gone because of a disease that is usually preventable.

Research has shown that physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health, particularly cardiovascular health. Physical activities, such as running and walking, have been shown to reduce heart attacks, strengthen heart muscles and reduce blood pressure, amongst other benefits.
