Fall Series - Get Dirty! Get Muddy!

Four Race Series

Race 1 Only

#1 – Norris Penrose Events Center COURSE: ~3.1 miles. The trails are wide, up to 8 feet in some places, with many ups and downs. Don’t get your hopes up for an easy run here. DIRECTIONS: I-25 to Hwy 24/Cimarron exit. Drive west to 8th Street and turn left, drive south to Lower Gold Camp Road and turn right. Continue west to the main entrance of the Norris Penrose Events Center. Please park in the parking lot south of the office building. Walk to the southern end of the parking lot and walk west. Staging will be at the southernmost end of the parking lot.

Race 2 Only

#2 – North Monument Valley Park COURSE: ~4 miles. Start in the large grass field and then proceed onto the trails. The course will lead you onto side trails. You will return to the grass field for your final sprint to the finish. DIRECTIONS: I-25 to Uintah Street, exit 143. Turn east and drive 3 blocks to Cascade Avenue. Take a left turn (north) and drive 5 blocks to Fontanero and turn left (west). Drive to the end of the road and you will be at the park. Parking will be along the streets, there isn’t a parking lot. Registration/bib pickup is south of the baseball field (down the hill).

Race 3 Only

#3 – Pinon Valley Park and Ute Valley Park COURSE: ~6 miles. Pinon Valley Park is a welcoming staging area. Ute Valley Regional Park is very rocky and hilly, so be ready for the run of your life! The trails are single track in places. And, watch out for snakes in the area. This is by far the most challenging run of the series. DIRECTIONS: NEW PARK VENUE. I-25 to Garden of the Gods Road, exit 146. Drive west 1 mile to Centennial Boulevard. Turn north and drive 1.4 miles to Mule Deer Drive. Turn east and drive 2 blocks to Pinon Valley Park. Please be respectful of others property when parking in any residential area.

Race 4 Only

#4 – Palmer Park COURSE: ~7.4 miles. In this race, you will run miles on trails that no man or woman would touch – except for the Fall Series runners! Rocks that move, ankles that hurt…but oh what fun! DIRECTIONS: Use the south entrance into Palmer Park, located on Maizeland between Academy Boulevard and Circle Drive. The start is located at the big tree on the southwest corner of the parking lot, north of the sandpit.
