September 2020 Trophy Series 10M and 5k – LIVE!

September sees us running live again, this time at Platte River Trailhead Park in north Denver.  Let’s hope Ma Nature comes through with a cooler day than for the August race!

We will have both the 10M Trophy Series race and a 5k option as well.  We’ll use our COVID approach that worked so well for August, so you can expect to run in a safe and distanced way.  Make sure to come earlier than usual to use the new registration process, please.

All runners are welcome. Members are preregistered and will have a race tag waiting. Guests, online signup deadlines have passed,  so please plan to bring cash or Venmo on race day. Please come early if you plan to register on race day. We will end race day registration 20 minutes before race start.

Race Day Details

Date:   Sunday September 13
Time:   8am start.  Show up at least 1 hour early to get your tag and warm up. We will have volunteers helping you to find your tag and get the right bib for your distance.
Course:  race runs on the Clear Creek and South Platte concrete bike paths.
Location:  Platte River Trailhead Park in Denver near 88th and Colorado.
Parking:  Plenty of parking at the park.

COVID Adjustments for the race

You must wear a mask for registration, race start, and all pre- and post-race conversation. This is a condition of our race permit, and we will ask you to leave if you don’t have a mask. You do not have to wear it while you are running.

Runners, you will need to bring your own water to carry on course. We do plan to have a table at the start / 5 mile point where you can place another bottle to pick up as you run by. If you do this, PLEASE make sure it has your name on it, and pick up the bottle before you leave.

Full RMRR COVID Racing Approach

Volunteer!

Race directors David Rothenburger and Ric Robinette and friends will be looking for running and non-running volunteers, so members, if you aren’t running, come help out!

    • 48 racers. 28 10M runners, 19 5k runners,  and 1 race walker.
    • 12 of our 23 10M runners beat their handicap.
    • Fast female for the 10M was Lindsey Gerard with a finishing time of 1:19:11,  a pace of 7:55/mi.
    • Fast male for the 10M was Eric Greene, whose finishing time of 1:04:58 = a pace of  6:30.

August 2020 Trophy Series – 5k Results!

FINALLY…a live race again!  We ran in the hot weather at deKoevend Park and enjoyed a sweaty but LIVE and safe 5k.  No awards or potluck this time – sigh – but it was nice to see our running friends again!

Our COVID approach made for an interesting start.  We used  12 start groups, spread out between 0 and 11 minutes, with 1 to 10 people and a mix of speeds in each group.  That meant quick distancing on the course and a nicely spread out finish.  Everyone wore masks when not racing, got their own bibs, and even put their finish tags on the spike themselves.  And it all worked out great!! 

52 racers completed the race. David Lange was the TS winner, and Mike Blanchard was the top racewalker.  Deb Cunningham was the fast female in 23:37. Eric Green was the fast male in 18:37.

Plan on another live race on September 13 with 10mi and 5km choices. Hopefully September will be a bit cooler, too!

RMRR 2020 August – LIVE Race – Finally!

Hey, friends.  We are ON for live running at our August race on Friday August 7 at DeKoevend Park!  We have approvals from South Suburban and other authorities, a new racing approach to keep us all healthy, and we’re ready to run together safely again!

First, here are the race details:

  • Friday, August 7    5:30p registration, 6:30p first start
  • Dekoevend Park in Centennial
    Park behind the Goodson Rec Center:  Parking Map
  • 5k distance for all

Now for how we’ll make this safe for everyone.  We have a new set of registration and running procedures to help us stay distanced from each other before, during, and after the race.  We’ve summarized key info below, and you can download the entire document here.

General Guidance

  • Wear a mask except when you’re running.  You will need your mask to register and run!
  • Come a little earlier than usual, and be patient.  It will take a little more time to go through our self-serve registration process.
  • Keep that 6 foot distance from your friends before and after the race.  Do your best to do it during the race, too!
  • We will have volunteers to help guide you through our race processes.  Please listen when they provide 
  • Sorry, but no potluck…yeah, we’re bummed, too.  If you want to sit on the grass after and talk to folks who are safely distanced, that’s ok, but we won’t have any organized food and drink.
  • PLEASE PLEASE be careful of your friends.  Don’t come if you’ve felt sick with COVID symptoms or might have been recently exposed to COVID.  That would not be nice.

Registration

Everyone signs an updated waiver before moving to tables to get their own bib and start tag.  We will have volunteers helping, and a staffed table for raceday registration.

Race Start

We’ll use the standard scoring system, but with a different start time approach to help keep people distanced during the race and at the finish.  You will be off and running no later than 15 minutes from the first runners, so that warmup time you count on may not be there if you don’t arrive earlier than usual.

During the Race

If you want food or water…bring it yourself.  There will be no waterstop during the race, and no food or drink at the finish.

Have your mask available while running if you can’t stay distanced, and PLEASE be courteous to others using the Highline trail, giving them their space.

In the Chute

You’ll need to put on your mask, pull your tag, and place the tag on the single common spindle.  It will be easy to see how this works.  We will have a VERY long single chute to help everyone stay distanced.

After the Race

We’ll keep post-race activity to a minimum.  No potluck and no results on race day.  We’ll have results online a few days after the race.

There’s a lot of change, but we’re confident these procedures will let us have a safe and successful race for us all.  We can’t wait to see you next Friday!
