This week's run is at Green Mountain. The early group meets at 5:30pm; the main
group starts at 6:15pm. Meet at the Rooney Road lot.

Directions:

Run notes: This run will allow shorter/easier options for those running the
Boston Marathon next week. If you are not familiar with the trails, please
review the map in advance. Link to maps at
http://dtr.runuphillracing.com/Maps/GreenMtn.html


DTR runs are not races. We ask the faster runners to start slowly, to keep the
group together for the first few minutes. After that, we spread out and
naturally form smaller sub-groups and run different routes. The different routes
are designed so that runners of different abilities can start and finish at
about the same time. Please pick the appropriate route for you. Don't
necessarily follow the people in front of you. The sub-groups/routes are
approximately defined as follows:
5: sub-40 10km (road race time, not the pace run at DTR runs)
4: low-mid 40s 10km
3: high 40s to mid 50s 10km
2: mid 50s to low 60s 10km
1: mid 60s+

We ask experienced runners to wait at key intersections to help guide newer
runners.

Bring warm and dry clothing for after the run. Even in the summer, it cools off
quickly in the canyons when the sun goes down.

Everyone is invited to join us for dinner after the run. We will pick a nearby
restaurant.

Carpool: If you are interested in sharing a ride to/from any of the DTR runs,
please post a message on our Facebook page,

It's time to think about our summer run/party schedule again. This is an open
invitation to past/new party hosts (must live near good single track trails and
within a reasonable distance from Denver/west side) to volunteer to host a
summer run/party on a Thursday night or weekend (better if you are further out
than our usual run locations). Our parties are typically pot-luck, with the
hosts often providing some kind of main dish, although that is negotiable.
Please email denvertrailrunners-owner@yahoogroups.com with as many possible
dates as will work for you, and Becca and I will try to come up with a schedule.
Thanks,
Kristin Moreau

Given the iffy 'spring-like' weather in the forecast the group will decide at the start of the run whether they want to head up North Table Mountain, tackle Mount Galbraith, tread the bike paths of Golden or sink into one of Noa Noa's soft sofas with a piping hot mug of homemade chai. :) 

All abilities always welcome.

*Meeting Spot*
8AM at Noa Noa Espresso and News (map: http://g.co/maps/btjrm) in Golden. Located in the Canyon Point strip mall, tucked between Ali Babba and The Spot. Canyon Point is east of Hwy 93 between Washington Ave and Iowa Dr.

Until Sunday,

I desperately need volunteers for Saturday's race at Bear Creek Lake Park - parking, registration, aid stations, finish line. Volunteers will get socks, visor or shirt, and free entry into October's 10-Spot race. For anyone doing Western States, earn your volunteer hours here.

Of course, I welcome racers too. Online registration ends Thu. In store, BRC Littleton ($3 off in store) ends Wed. Race day reg will be available.

I know many of you have already signed up for North Fork.  If you haven't, please do it soon.  We are over half full now.  The race is June 30, and the price goes upon June 1 if there are still openings.  We filled 6 weeks before last year's race.  North Fork is 100% trails in the Buffalo Creek Recreation area, starting and finishing in Pine Valley Ranch Park in Pine.  Your entry fee gets you beautiful trails, a high quality tech shirt, unique finisher awards, 3 deep awards in most age groups, and a fabulous post-race barbecue on the banks of the rushing North Fork of the South Platte.  If you don't plan to run, come volunteer!  Details at www.northfork50.com .

Trail map:
http://dtr.runuphillracing.com/Maps/GudyGaskillTrail-route.html
If you are not familiar with the trails, please review the map in advance.
This trail is easier to get lost on. Especially pay attention to where the
intersection marked with an "E". Make sure you turn there or you'll end up
running to Golden.
If you won't be staying with a main group, make sure you either know your way or
you have a trail buddy who knows the route.

Run notes:
Short - Going counter-clockwise, skip GG, turn left on the Beaver Brook trail
and just proceed to the climb.
Med - Start CC, turn right onto BB until you reach the east end of the Gudy
Gaskill trail. At the end of GG, turn left, rather than right up the climb.
Follow the service road all the way up. Shortly after going around the chain,
make a sharp right on Centennial Trail road. Follow the road back to school.
Long - Start CC, turn right onto BB until you reach the east end of the Gudy
Gaskill trail. At the end of GG, turn left, rather than right up the climb.
Start up the service road. May take trails off to the right on the way back, the
way we usually start the run.
If you are not familiar with the trails, please review the map in advance.

We usually suggest several routes of different length at each run. The different
routes are designed so that runners of different abilities can start and finish
at about the same time. Please pick the appropriate route for you. Don't
necessarily follow the people in front of you. The sub-groups/routes are
approximately defined as follows:
Extra-Long: sub-40 10km (road race time, not the pace run at DTR runs)
Long: low-mid 40s 10km
Intermediate: high 40s to mid 50s 10km
Short: mid 50s+ 10km

DTR runs are not races. We ask the faster runners to start slowly, to keep the
group together for the first 5-10 minutes. After that, we spread out and
naturally form smaller sub-groups. We ask experienced runners to wait at key
intersections to help guide newer runners.

Bring warm and dry clothing for after the run.

Everyone is invited to join us for dinner after the run. We will pick a nearby
restaurant, possibly in Bergen Park.

Hey all,

Iffy weather this weekend, so we'll just meet and do Fairmount Trail.  Nice gravel trail so we can run it no matter the weather without having to resort to pounding pavement.

We'll start at Tony Grampsas and head out towards the reservoir and back.  I think the North Table Mtn trail construction is still going on, so I believe that the connection to the top is closed.  But we should get a good 7-8 miles in, and I am sure we can find a way to extend it for anyway who needs more mileage.

All abilities are welcome, as always.  The trail is out and back, so you can choose any distance that suits you.

*Meeting Spot*
Meet at Tony Grampsas Sports Complex at 8:00am.  North of 44th on Salvia.  Park by the baseball fields.  Map here.

Hope to see you all this weekend!

~Brian

This week's run is at Mount Falcon (lower lot). The early group meets at 5:30pm;
the main group starts at 6:15pm. Meet at the lower, Morrison, Mt. Falcon lot.

We usually suggest several routes of different length at each run. The different
routes are designed so that runners of different abilities can start and finish
at about the same time. Please pick the appropriate route for you. Don't
necessarily follow the people in front of you. The sub-groups/routes are
approximately defined as follows:

Extra-Long: sub-40 10km (road race time, not the pace run at DTR runs)
Long: low-mid 40s 10km
Intermediate: high 40s to mid 50s 10km
Short: mid 50s+ 10km

Join us at Matthews/Winters Park for this week's run. We should be out for an hour or so. The likely route will be Dakota Ridge trail > Red Rocks trail > Morrison Slide trail > back to start. 

Those wishing to go longer can connect with Green Mountain via the Zorro trail off Dakota Ridge. Or those wishing for stronger thighs can add on a few laps of the famed Red Rocks steps. 

All ability levels always welcome.

*Meeting Spot*
7 AM at the Matthews/Winters trail head (southwest corner at I-70 and County Road 93). If you go to the Stegosaurus Park and Ride lot you probably will not find us.

Until Sunday,
Rob

This week's run is at North Table Mountain. The early group meets at 5:30pm; the
main group starts at 6:15pm. Meet at the parking lot on the west side of the
park, off Hwy 93: http://g.co/maps/8zvym.

Run notes: We will be trying out the new North Table Loop and Cottonwood Canyon
trails on the south side of the park. If you are not familiar with the trails,
please review the map in advance:
http://dtr.runuphillracing.com/maps/DTR-NTable.html

DTR runs are not races. We ask the faster runners to start slowly, to keep the
group together for the first few minutes. After that, we spread out and
naturally form smaller sub-groups and run different routes. The different routes
are designed so that runners of different abilities can start and finish at
about the same time. Please pick the appropriate route for you. Don't
necessarily follow the people in front of you. The sub-groups/routes are
approximately defined as follows:
5: sub-40 10km (road race time, not the pace run at DTR runs)
4: low-mid 40s 10km
3: high 40s to mid 50s 10km
2: mid 50s to low 60s 10km
1: mid 60s+

We ask experienced runners to wait at key intersections to help guide newer
runners.

Bring warm and dry clothing for after the run. Even in the summer, it cools off
quickly in the canyons once the sun goes down.

Everyone is invited to join us for dinner after the run. We will pick a nearby
restaurant.

Carpool: If you are interested in sharing a ride to/from any of the DTR runs,

Park map (PDF)

*Where To Meet*
