Amazing RaceSeptember 21, 2013 The inaugural 6-mile race and 5K race walk on Sept. 21 was a huge success! Co-director Eric Hislop and I heard from a good many finishers that they loved this race: The difficult terrain -- navigating that first 2+ miles along the ridge -- didn't deter our hearty band of runners, and it attracted other strong runners into our mix. Eric's and my thanks go to the 57 runners, 4 race walkers and 4 non-competitive 5K runners who participated in The Amazing Race and the nearly 20 volunteers, including 8 Ralston Valley High School students, who helped put on this grand show in the beautiful Matthews/Winters Park in Golden. Thanks go to these fine volunteers, who made The Amazing Race possible: Connie Ahrnsbrak, Kevin Snyder, Tom Duran and Janet Sandoval, Tom Chambers, Amy Machael, Jim Clarke (my husband), Todd Shaklee, Joe Baird and Amy Lease. If I didn't include your name, I apologize (and please send it to me!). From RVHS: Hope and Grace Clarke (my daughters), Spencer Morgan, Keith Enney, Shelby Austin, Julia Gustafson, Reid Biren and Kassidy Webber. Our thanks also to Jefferson County Open Space for allowing the race to continue after the September floods damaged so many trails elsewhere (as a club, we are heartsick about that). Somehow, the trails at Matthews/Winters survived. We thank Mike Morin and other Open Space staff for trusting us to host a race that would be kind to the trails and respectful of other runners, hikers and mountain bikers with whom we shared it. Our race prizes were provided by these fine merchants and supporters. PLEASE share your love; visit their shops (some are online only): Runner's High (a new running store off Hwy 93 in Golden); Boulder Running Co. in Littleton; Bentgate (a longtime mountaineering store in Golden that has a new, monthly Thursday night running club for folks like us); Mountain Toad Brewery in Golden; Rewind Consignment in Golden; Arvada Great Harvest Bread Co. (we cherish this bread!); Enjoy Biscotti (the best darn biscotti in all the land); Front Range Boot Camp (off Hwy 70 at Kipling in Arvada); Dandy Social Club in Lafayette, which crafts race T-skirts out of old T-shirts; and XTERRA, the national trail-racing sponsor that loves Colorado.
Eric and I look forward to another Amazing Race in 2014. Thanks, everyone.
