THURSDAY RUN
Run Location: South Valley Park, in Ken Caryl.
Mary's group - 3:30pm
Scott's group - 5:30pm
Main group - 6:15pm

Run Notes: This is one of our flatter and least technical runs. After
completing the Grazing Elk trail and crossing road, choose any
additional trails coming back based on time.

We'll continue to run on Thursdays through the winter. We're open to
suggestions for run locations. Each Thursday, we'll ask the attendees
where they want to run the next week. We'll try to stay on the better
trails as long as they're dry. Weather may dictate a late change in
any run location.

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.
For directions, route descriptions and explanation of ratings, please
