January 2009 President’s Message

We had a great turnout at the January 10k race at Twin Lakes. 111 Runners came out on a warm January day for RMRR’s first race of the year. Memorable moments included Tristan Mitchell’s new course record for the men with a time of 35:17, welcoming 23 new members to their first race, and a surprise visit from the paramedics.

Despite a snafu with the bathrooms where the Adams County park department didn’t get the doors unlocked, everyone soldiered through and had a good time.  The year is off to a promising start.

This year is our 50th anniversary year and we’ve got a bunch of activities planned for the first week of June.  Here’s what we’ve planned:

  • 2 mile TS on Sunday, May 31 followed by a pancake breakfast
  • Monday, June 1:  Reunion event w/ birthday cake at Runner’s Roost on Colorado Blvd.
  • Tuesday, June 2:  Wash park fun run 
  • Wed, June 3:  Track workout @ Heritage HS (Littleton) led by former RMRR member Maureen Roben.  This event includes Phidippides Track Club and the Colorado Columbines.
  • Thurs, June 4:  Trail run with Denver Trail Runners followed by a potluck.
  • Friday, June 5:  Predict race from BRC in Littleton.
  • Saturday, June 6:  50 mile relay at Heritage HS track.

We hope you can join us – look here for further updates!
