Fall Series - Get Dirty! Get Muddy!

Race 1 - Bear Creek Terrace (3.8 miles) Race 2 - North Monument Valley Park (4 miles) Race 3 - Pinion Valley Park/Ute Valley Park (5.4 miles) Race 4 - Palmer Park (7.3 miles)

#1 – Bear Creek Terrace COURSE: ~3.8 miles. It starts and ends like a classic cross country course with a wide runway on green turf fields. It then ascends up a nasty steep hill and then takes a couple mile detour into rolling single track. Have fun! DIRECTIONS: I-25 to exit 141. Turn west onto Highway 24 (Cimarron) to 21st Street. Turn south on 21st Street and go south on 21st Street for 1 ½ miles to Argus (stoplight) turn right/west to the park entrance and parking is on the right. Volunteers will be directing.

#2 – North Monument Valley Park COURSE: ~4 miles. Start in the large grass field and then proceed onto the wide and narrow trails around North Monument Valley Park. You will return to the grass field for your final sprint to the finish. This is the fastest course in the series and the least technical. 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).

#3 – Pinon Valley Park and Ute Valley Park COURSE: ~5.4 miles. Pinon Valley Park is a welcoming staging area for a technical and challenging course! 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. Some years you need to watch our for snakes and bears and some years snow! 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.

#4 – Palmer Park COURSE: ~7.3 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! Remember to eat your Wheaties before this one. DIRECTIONS: 3650 Maizeland Rd. 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.
