THURSDAY RUN
Location: South Table Mtn. Meet at the NREL lot. The main group starts
at 6:15pm; the early group meets at 5:30pm.

Run notes: PLEASE READ THE MAP & ROUTE DESCRIPTION. There are no trail
signs, very few landmarks, and tons of unofficial trails. The route
description is good, although the map doesn't reflect some of the
trail changes. I'll try to get it updated by Thursday, but no
promises. The NW section of the top is private property. We need to
respect that and stay off of the purple and green marked trails. In
the middle section, we will follow the blue line, not the parallel red
line (it's behind a fence). If you are new, we'll try to make sure you
have someone experienced to run with, and/or stop and regroup.

Mtn Bike: Meet at 4:45pm and mtn bike for about an hour.

Sunset is at 6:00 pm; end civil twilight is at 6:27. Daylight Savings
Time begins this Sunday morning. We should be able to complete our
runs without lights starting next week.

If you are new to DTR and unfamiliar with the trails, and for more
information about DTR, including FAQs, please go to the link below.

PIKES REGISTRATION
Many of you know that last Thursday's registration for Pikes Peak was
a disaster, and had to be shut down. Some of the "confirmed" entries
were accepted. In some categories, they will be starting over from
scratch. The new registration will take place on Tuesday, March 13,
with staggered start times for the different categories. You can check
for your confirmed entry and get more info at:

OTHER DTR AFFILIATED RUNS

SATURDAY EVERGREEN
The Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) holds FREE runs every Saturday,

these runs. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes long. They
usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please forward your

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.
