Lung Force: Grab your running shoes and warm-up your voice—you’ll need both for the American Lung Association’s first annual Lung Force Walk Denver. The event is being described as “ a charity walk like no other,” as participants will have the opportunity to dance and sing, “raising their voices against lung cancer.” You can choose between two walking options—a short 1/4 mile loop and a longer 1/2 mile loop—so the event is great for families and kids. The walk ends at the Pavillion, where walkers will be greeted by exhibitors, games and food. The money raised will be used for research, advocacy, education, and awareness. While fundraising can earn you some great incentives, walking is free. Saturday, 9 a.m.; Centennial Center Park,13050 E. Peakview Ave., Englewood
