This Sunday is the start of the Rocky Mountain Road Runners (RMRR)
2007 Trophy Series (TS), 10km, and Twin Lakes Park, near 70th & Broadway.
The RMRR TS is a monthly race series, FREE to members, featuring a
handicap (HCP) start and scoring system. The HCP system is designed to
give everyone an equal chance of winning. Slower runners and
racewalkers start first; faster runners later. At this month's 10k
race, for example, the fastest runner may start 35 minutes after the
first runner.
The TS races are once each month, throughout the year. The races range
in distance from 2mi to 10mi, and are held at various locations around
the metro area. You earn points based on how you finish at each race,
towards annual awards at the end of the year. You can track your
RMRR also hosts several weekly training and social runs.
Race day registration only. You can join the club on Sunday (then get
all of the 2007 TS races for free), or just try it out. I think it's
$5 for non-members.
