Dear Athlete!

 

 

7 1/2 months seems a long time away BUT - the advance pricing deals for the Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon Weekend events are really amazing! Click and see.

 

Many of you know I run early in the morning with my dog Wesley

along with the 5:30AM running group. Now that it's dark, here's my friendly reminder to get a blinking or lighted collar and leash. Wesley looks like a Christmas tree but is much safer with it. My favorite brand is Nite Beams and it's easy to replace the batteries. You can also get items to keep you visible sans dog as well!

 

 

The Halloween Hustle 5K on October 28th  is just around the corner and will start and finish this year at Hudson Gardens! It will benefit the Tennyson Center again. Mark your calendar, please!

 

Lonnie Somers and I are hard at work putting together the RunDenver Series  kicking off with the Rudolph Ramble on December 2nd. One of our new partners is Camp Gladiator. They have expanded into Colorado and have over 7 different camp locations in the Denver metro area. Camp Gladiator is having a CRAZY Birthday sale!!! They're offering 4 weeks of UNLIMITED sessions for only $4!! 4 hours only, online registration only. 11:44pm-3:44pm Mtn time. Camp Gladiator is more than a fitness boot camp, it's an experience that has become the fastest growing and most dynamic fitness program in the nation.

Run the 'Rocks - October 14

RtR

Run the 'Rocks is a walk/run challenge matched with electrifying musical reverb at the world-famous amphitheatre crafted by Mother Nature herself.

 

Whether you want to run like mad, or slowly inhale the fabulous panorama, you don't want to miss this unique Red Rocks event! On Sunday, October 14th 2500+ participants will begin the course in the Upper North Lot and run along the beautiful park roads towards Morrison. And for those of you who love the stairs, we incorporated those famous Red Rocks stairs just for you. Yep, you'll get to climb them as you finish the course. But what would an event be at the world-famous amphitheatre without music? We'll make sure you don't leave without rocking out to 6 local bands along the course.

 

Sign-up today for just $35. All proceeds from this amazing event benefit the life-saving programs of the American Lung Association in Colorado.

Halloween Hustle - October 28 
  

HHThumbIf ding-dong ditch is your idea of Halloween fun, it's time to reconsider your social calendar. This year, you and a freakish friend can run for your lives in the Halloween Hustle 5k Fun Run.

 

This eerie race sets out from the Hudson Gardens, continues onto the Platte River path, and finishes back at Hudson Gardens...your final resting place. After the race, little boys and ghouls can trick-or-treat, have their faces painted, and play in a bounce house, and kids of all ages can enjoy refreshments and live music from Retro.

 

Don't forget to participate in the costume contest (here's a hint: "runner" probably won't be a winner), and do make sure to take home a tech t-shirt to commemorate your day of frightening fun. Admit it, the Halloween Hustle sounds better than your usual Halloween plans - gorging yourself on fun-size packs of peanut M&Ms - so go out there and have yourself a spook-tacular time!
