SUNDAY LONG RUN
There's a tentative plan to run Centennial Cone on Sunday, weather
permitting. Centennial Cone is a fairly new park in the Jeffco Open
Space system. It's about 10mi W of Golden, between hwy 6 and Golden
Gate Canyon. The trails are still new and in nice shape, and have some
great scenery. The main loop is about 13miles. There are options for
more or less. Weekends are alternating use, with this Sunday being
hikers/equestrians only. We'll meet in and carpool up from Golden.
Details will be posted later. For more info on the park, go to

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
questions to Dave via the ERC link below. For more info about the ERC
schedules, go to:

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
