This Thursday's run will be at Green Mtn, Rooney Road lot. The early
group will start at 5:30pm. The main group will start at 6:00pm. EARLY
START!! We'll be starting early for the next few weeks to take
advantage of the fading light.
Directions: There's a change to the driving directions. From either
directions, take C-470 to the new Alameda exit. Go W from the offramp
~200m. Turn right on Rooney Rd, ~1/3mi, to the lot. The directions on
the site work as back-up, in case of traffic.
Run Notes: Sunset is at 6:41pm; Twilight is at 7:08pm. Please adjust
your route to finish by 7pm. We don't want to have to go search for
anyone after it gets dark. All of the routes finish on the wide,
service road, which should be easy to follow as it gets dark.
About 3/4mi after the start, at GM1, the faster runners will take a
left up the canyon ~200m, then right. This will take us onto a trail
that parallels the main trail before rejoining after 1+ mile. This
trail is about the same length, but is hillier, and takes longer.
Slower and intermediate runners, please don't follow us. stick to the
main route.
Also, the trail listed as the Utah trail on the directions, has been
renamed as the Hayden trail.
Please use the links below for route descriptions and maps, driving
directions, and more info.
DTR runs are not races. We'll start together, then spread out and
naturally form smaller sub-groups once we're into the run. Please stop
and regroup, with similarly paced others, at key intersections. We ask
experienced DTRs to please help guide those newer to the trail.
Remember to bring warm and dry clothing for after the run. It cools
quickly once the sun goes down.
Carpool: There's a regular carpool group for those of you who
live/work near downtown. Meet at the corner of 9th and Elati, by
Denver West High School, at 5:10 each Thursday. We will alternate who
drives. The link below has a map.
