“I am thrilled to be a part of breaking this Guinness World Record,” Colorado Rapids President Padraig Smith said in a press release.

“It’s great that we’re doing it with great partners like UCHealth and I think it’s just a really fun, innovative, great way to do something different and to encourage people to get out and be active,” Smith said. “Ready.Set.CO, I think, is something we all recognize — this desire to make Colorado the healthiest, fittest state in the country. It’s something we fully support and are thrilled to do in collaboration.” With UCHealth.”
