Training
Racewalking Group
8am, Saturday morning race walk training. We’ll meet the same time and place as the running group, then head out along the trail separately. The format is an easy 10 minute warmup, followed by some stretching/dynamic flexibility drills, then continue on for as many miles as you have on your schedule. Coffee/breakfast/lunch afterwards for those that are interested. All skill levels are welcome, experienced race walkers as well as new race walkers.

If you need an introduction to basic racewalking technique contact Yvonne Allmaras at yallmaras@hotmail.com.
Track workouts
RMRR holds weekly track workouts every Wednesday from April through September. The 2009 workouts are at Heritage High School. Here’s the 2009 Schedule.
The track workouts are open and free to all RMRR members. Non-members are always welcome to try a couple of workouts at no cost. Track workouts are a great way to improve speed, endurance and overall fitness level for runners from novice to the speediest of rabbits.
The workouts start at 6:30 p.m. Please try to arrive 10-15 minutes early to warm up. We recommend 10 minutes of easy jogging and some light stretching to warm up. The workout starts with a few additional stretches and some drills before the interval session.
Marathon Training Series
The Marathon Training Series is a series of 4 fully supported races that RMRR has every year to help runners prepare for the fall marathon season. The series consists of 4 races: a 10 mile race, a 15 mile race, and two 20 mile races. For more information about the series, including the dates, location, and how to sign up, go to our Marathon Training Series page.
Relay and Team Running
RMRR supports members who form and join RMRR teams to run in one of the many relay/team events in the Denver area each year. Each race has multiple age and gender categories, and members of all abilities are encouraged to participate. For races and rules, see our Relay and Team Running page.
