FEATURED RACES
*2/25; Run the Register Stair Climb
Denver Trail Runners is putting together teams for the race. The race
is up 47 floors, 1,014 steps, in the "Cash Register" building (Wells
Fargo Center), downtown Denver.

We can still use additional people for the DenverTrailRunners team.
Please sign up soon, and add yourself to the DTR team.

Running up 47 floors takes a bit longer than running a mile, and is a
lot harder. It will seem so easy at the start, but become very hard,
very quickly. Last year's winning time was 6:10 men, 6:41 women. There
will be lots of non-competitive entrants, so if you prefer to walk, or
just raise funds, please do so too.

*3/17; Run Through Time Marathon & Half Marathon; Salida. This is a
fun race almost all on dirt, with plenty of climbing. There is good
road and mountain biking too, depending on the weather.
