Clear Creek 4 Miler at Prospect Park



Clear Creek 4 Miler

December 11, 2004
By Dave Black

The Clear Creek 4 Miler and pancake breakfast was held at Prospect Park in Wheatridge. 59 runners and 2 racewalkers - exactly the same number as in 2003 - showed up on what was actually a rather warm (for winter) morning. So warm, in fact, that it was just the right temperature for the ice to be the slipperiest.

The course starts out on the bike path, out and back to the I-70 frontage road, going up a hill alongside the freeway; this part was all concrete asphalt and dry. Then comes the backstretch, around a mile on dirt through the trees on the other side of the creek from the start; this part had 3 icy stretches that were extremely slippery. Then comes the homestretch, doubling back onto the bike path. I was giving directions at this hairpin turn when the men's winner Fernando Herrera came by; he was flying, eventually finishing in 22:23 (which was 3:13 faster than last year's men's winning time). And it wasn't long until women's winner Christine Adamowski came by; She ran 26:20, which was 2:01 faster than the 2003 women's winner. And everyone seemed to be having a good time, so the race came off well.

Thanks to all the volunteers, without whose help the race couldn't happen- Tom Alison, Lou Hatch, Jim Price, Rich Romero, Pat Phillips, Adam Feerst, Rob Fisher, Joe Sanchez, Joe Baird, Lisa Black, Moriah Prescott and Marie Nguyen.
