This Thursday's run is at Mt. Falcon, UPPER lot (T=3, P=3, N=3; BMms)
trails. The main group will start at 6:20pm; the early group starts
around 5:30pm.

Note: THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE PRIOR SCHEDULE! This is also a new
location for us. Please use the links below for maps and more details
on the park.

Directions: Take hwy 285 SW from C-470, ~4.5mi, to the second exit.
Exit and go right, N onto Parmalee Gulch Rd. About 3mi up the road,
before the top, look for signs to Mt. Falcon. Turn right, and follow
the signs to Mt. Falcon. Go through the horse lot and park in the
second lot.

Route: Start down the Castle Trail. Just a short way down, take the
first right onto Parmalee Trail. We'll stay together until there. The
trail drops steeply for a bit, the loops around overlooking hwy 285.
The trail continues for 2mi to "KEY" junction with Meadow, Tower and
Old Ute trails, where the routes will split.

Slow: From the KEY junction, take the Meadow trail in either
direction, left or straight, to the Castle Trail. Go left on the
Castle Trail to the finish.

Intermediate: From the KEY junction, go right onto Old Ute towards
Devils Elbow. The trails split and come back together twice. Stay
right in both directions. Return to the KEY junction. Take Meadow
either way, to Castle, the left to the finish.

Fast: Follow the intermediate route around Devils Elbow, and back to
the KEY junction. Start up Meadow, then bear left onto the Tower
trail. Follow it over the ridge, and back to the Meadow trail. There,
take a sharp right, downhill, and return back to the key junction. Go
left onto the Meadow Trail to Castle, then left to the finish.
Alternatively, after finishing the Devil's loop, we can reverse the
Parmalee trail back to the start.

If you are new to the group or unfamiliar with the run locations and
rating, please go to dtr.runuphillracing.com for driving directions,
running routes, trail ratings, or other information about the group.
Paper maps should be available at the start. Please read and bring a
printout the route descriptions.

Tuesday mornings, 5:15am. Please see the message posted on Mondays, or
contact Leigh: lsingleton@...

Wed mornings, run stairs at Red Rocks. This is a "show-and-go"
workout, meaning that just start whenever you show up. People have
been starting anywhere from 5:30-6:30am. Is anyone showing up or
should I drop this listing?

Wed mornings, every other week, join Derek Griffith for a long run
near Ken Caryl. He starts at his house, 28 Tecoma Circle, at 6:30am,
and runs for up to 2 hours, 12-15 miles. Contact Derek for more
information, derek@...

This Saturday's Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) is at Chief Hosa. The

Bob Weber's team needs an additional runner for the Wild West Relay.
Contact him at bweberhome@...,, or Bob McMecham at
rmcmechan@...

Team Freakin Idiots needs additional runners for their Wild West Relay
team. See race details below. If interested, or for questions, contact
Jess LaVigne, jsobo5@....

Relay races are a lot of fun. You spend 24 hours or so, running and
driving through the mountains, with other tired runners. You can be
seriously competitive; you can be casual; you can have both on the
same team. There are a couple of good events in Colorado:

8/19-20; Wild West Relay; Ft. Collins to Steamboat Springs; 195 miles;
directed by a sometime DTR member Paul Vanderheiden. Teams of 12 with
each person running three separate 5-6 mile legs. Ultra teams of 6
with each person running a single 30-35 mi leg. This is held on the
full moon. www.wildwestrelay.com, wwr@...

9/16-17; Colorado Outward Bound Relay; Idaho Springs to Glenwood
Springs; 170 miles. 10 and 5 person teams. www.coloradorelay.com

Interested in forming a team with other DenverTrailRunners for an
upcoming relay? Do you already have a team that is looking for
additional runners? If interested in forming a team, please send me a
note. We'll need someone to volunteer to "lead" the teams. That means
being the contact person and organizing the other runners and drivers.
You can use the DTR message to help recruit team members. I am not
able to do the relays this year, although I have done the Colorado
Relay before.

"If you can identify the runner in this photo
http://www.runpikespeak.com/img/p_unknown.jpg you could win a free
entry into next year's Barr Trail Mountain Race! We have hidden his
bib number to keep things FAIR!!!" Please respond to Matt Carpenter at
matt@...

Save gas. Save money. It's more fun to go with a group. Send me a
note, info@..., if interested in carpooling to any
upcoming events. I'll try to help you find a driving partner. Please
try to get it to me by the weekend prior to the event.
