It happened again over the weekend. Photos below.

Once Upon a Race, a check-point race that started on Saturday morning at Stoney's Bar and Grill, 1111 Lincoln, again proved Denverites will get up early, put on a funny costume and drink while exercising -- all for a good cause. The sold-out race benefited the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
