The Annual Beat Beethoven 5k was held on March 29, 2015 at 9:00 am in downtown Fort Collins. The run began with Maestro Wes Kenney’s baton launching the opening notes of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony at the race starting line. The goal was to complete the course before the music ended and therefore “beat” Beethoven (approximately 33 minutes). Proceeds benefit the Fort Collins Symphony’s youth education and community engagement programs.
