The Colo Masters need volunteers for their race this Sat, at
Chatfield. Scott McFarlane, leader of the early group, is one of the
race directors. Give something back to the sport. It's also fun and
rewarding. Contact Scott at simcfarl@... , or Kim Massey at
kim5512@...

See Featured Races below for more info on the race

THURSDAY RUN
Location: Hogack/Matthews Winters. Meet at the Stegosaurus lot.

Time: The early group starts around 5:30pm. The main group will start
at 6:15pm.

Run notes: There's been some talk about running this in reverse. The
group will decide at the start. Regardless of which way we run, slower
runners should consider doing only the Matthews Winters - e.g.,
out-and-back to MW1 via MW2, MS2, MS1. Watch for ice on the north
facing slopes, especially around MS2.

If you haven't figured it out already, bring a light.

If you are new to DTR, or unfamiliar with the trails, directions or
ratings, please follow the link below to maps, route descriptions,
driving directions, FAQs, and other information.

OTHER GROUPS

SATURDAY EVERGREEN
The Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) holds FREE runs every Saturday,
8:30am, on trails, in the Evergreen area. Several DTR regulars join
these runs. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes long. They
usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please forward your
questions to Dave via the ERC link below. For more info about the ERC
schedules, go to: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Lodge/7018/index.html
Schedule:
11/18: Chief Hosa


SUNDAY GOLDEN
Golden weekend runs are Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Meet outside Brooks
Field, CSM Stadium, on 12th Street in Golden, and run on one of six or
more different routes in the Golden area. All of the courses allow for
varying lengths (e.g. 6-14+ miles) and paces, depending on the
interests of the runners on that day. For further information contact
Ron Benioff at rnbenioff@... 303-279-6152.

THANKSGIVING RUN
Are you interested in a Thanksgiving morning trail run? It's an
opportunity to run a trail, midweek, in daylight. It's also a great
way to make room for that extra slice of turkey and pie.

We need someone willing to lead the run. All leading means is picking
a place and time, then greeting people and getting them going at the
start. You don't need to be the fastest. Any trail will do. Perhaps
something new or don't run often: Sharptail Ridge? Centennial Cone?
