Saturday, Apr 12 - 9 AM Bluffs Regional Park Lone Tree, Colorado |
| The entire race is within the beautiful prairie setting of Bluffs Regional Park, starting and finishing next to the parking area.The course loops once around the park on wide, pea gravel paths. The footing is generally good, with few wash outs. And it's only 5K, right? Keep in mind the course features 750 feet of elevation change. The stretch on top of the bluff is over level ground. The AVERAGE grade over the rest of the loop approaches 10% (some up, some down). There are no trees, and the breeze can be stiff. So be prepared to suck wind, one way or another. Trail shoes are not needed unless it has been snowing. |
