Run notes: The run is an out and back. See the map at:
http://dtr.runuphillracing.com/Maps/ChimneyGulch-LookoutMtn.html for trail
directions. If you are not familiar with the trails, please review the map in
advance.
DTR runs are not races. We ask the faster runners to start slowly, to keep the
group together for the first 5-10 minutes. After that, we spread out and
naturally form smaller sub-groups. We ask experienced runners to wait at key
intersections to help guide newer runners.
We usually suggest several routes of different length at each run. The different
routes are designed so that runners of different abilities can start and finish
at about the same time. Please pick the appropriate route for you. Don't
necessarily follow the people in front of you. The sub-groups/routes are
approximately defined as follows:
Extra-Long: sub-40 10km (road race time, not the pace run at DTR runs)
Long: low-mid 40s 10km
Intermediate: mid 40s to low 50s 10km
Short: mid 50s+ 10km
Bring warm and dry clothing for after the run.
Everyone is invited to join us for dinner after the run. We will pick a nearby
restaurant at the end of the run.
Carpool: There's a regular carpool group for those of you who live or work near
downtown. Meet at the corner of 9th and Elati, by Denver West High School, at
5:25 each Thursday. We will alternate who drives.
