Applewood Hosts Farmers 5000 Midway Water Station

Each year, hundreds of runners and walkers head to the Wheat Ridge area for the Farmers 5000. This longtime community event attracts students, families, athletes, theme-teams, teachers, runners and walkers of all ages.

Last year, an 88-year-old participant held her own among the crowd that helps raise funds to support the Wheat Ridge High School’s student programs.

This year, Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric will once again sponsor the event. The company’s midway water station has become a tradition for the participants who are personally handed their water break as they make their way along the 5K route.
