September Trophy Series – 10M and 5k (and 20M!) at Westminster City Park

Hey, friends.  This month’s Trophy Series will be combined with our Marathon Training Race event, and we’ll hold them all at Westminster City Park.

We’ll have the 10 Mile Trophy Series race, a 5k for those who don’t want to run the TS distance, and both 10M and 20M Marathon Training races for others.  Don’t worry – we’ll make start times clear for everyone!

The course follows the Big Dry Creek trail north and east for 5 miles, then turns around and returns to the start.  Easy smooth running with a simple course, and it’s tailor-made for a fast race.

Race time:  8am on Sunday, Sept 8
Westminster City Park Driving and Parking Directions

You know how this works:  show up an hour early to get your tag and warm up.  Members are free, and guest runners $10 for the Trophy Series or 10M MTS, $25 for the 20M version.  As always, we’ll need volunteers to help at the start/finish and at the two aid stations out on the course.  Please send a note to the RMRR Volunteer Lead if you’re able to help whether as a runner or  a non-runner!

August Trophy Series and BBQ at DeKoevend Park!!

Friends, Friday August 3 brings our August Trophy Series race and cookout/potluck at deKoevend Park in Centennial.  This 5k run on the Highline Canal is one of our favorite races – nice course, nice location, and fantastic food afterwards.

This year will be even more epic.  Our friends with the Colorado Masters are joining us!  We will have a big crowd and a grand, grand picnic when we’re done.

Three important notes for this year’s race:

  1. We are back to the pavilion we’ve used in past years, Pavilion C that’s near the Rec Center.  We will cook and eat near the finish there.  You will want to park behind the rec center, and there is a bridge over the little ditch to the start.  There’s lots of parking for everyone.
  2. Bring your chairs!  This location has lots of seating, but we will need more with the crowd we expect.
  3. Because we’re running with the Masters, we will NOT use our staggered start.  Everyone will start at 6:30pm, so the start will be exciting!  Don’t worry – you will be scored the same way we always have, and your score will be adjusted based on your predicted time and start.

Race time is 6:30pm, and it’s more important that ever to come early to register and get ready.  We will have a portapotty near the start, but park restrooms are a few hundred yards away, so come early enough to make that walk if it’s needed.  Even more important:  remember to bring a dish for the potluck – side dish, salad, dessert, whatever you wish.  Bring enough for 8-10 people, and then look forward to the fun feast!  The club will provide hamburgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs, drinks, and plates and utensils.  We’ll also have a kids run with lots of fun prizes, so bring the family.

We will need more volunteers than usual to help setup the start and finish, staff aid stations and turnarounds, and to help setup our eating area.  We also need people to help cook – have any interest in being the hamburger and hot dog chef?  Help out and volunteer if you can.
