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,

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

We are moving back to summer hours - 7:30am

This will also give me a chance to run with the group AND be with the high school team at their track meet.

starts at 6:15pm. Meet at the trailhead at the lower parking lot.

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
