Illumina’s Director of Instructional Design Services, Allison Bell, participated in the Colfax Half Marathon in Denver with 25,000 runners, visits through the Denver Zoo, the Capitol, Civic Center Park, 16th Street Mall, and Convention Center, all the while with stellar Colorado mountain views – and even an Elvis impersonator. Colfax is the only race in the country with a fire station run-through!

Additionally, eight members from the Illumina team began CISCRP’s (Center for Clinical Research Study & Participation) 2025 Medical Heroes Appreci-a-thon – a 2-week annual fitness challenge fundraiser which runs from May 16-30. The Illumina team has participated for the past 5 years, with this year and last year’s Appreci-a-thons including a special tribute to Jim Adelson, Illumina’s former Director of Alliances, who passed away in 2023. CISCRP is a non-profit focused on raising awareness of clinical research trials.
