7.7 miles
Pine Valley Ranch, Pine, CO Sunday, October 18th, 2009 Check back later for a race report. Thanks to our sponsors Native Eyerwear sunglasses, Fleet Feet Boulder, Runners Roost Lakewood, Running Wild (Highlands Ranch), and Boulder Running Company. Thanks to everyone who helped who helped at registration, the finish, and along the course, allowing me to be able to run the race. This includes Scott McFarlane on the grill; Mark Hasseman and Rebecca Capehart with registration, and then also with the food; Joe Paniccia at the 3.25mi aid station, who then biked the course following the last runner, picking up course markings; Dave Black who carried water up to the 6.2mi aid station; the team from Animal Fitness who helped direct you on the course, Holly Storm who helped on the course, and anyone else I missed. It's taken me a few years to finally get a permit from the US Forest Service (almost everything on the loop part is Pike Natl Forest, the bottom is Jefferson Cty Open Space). Now that you have run it, you know why I stuck with it. I plan to bring this race back again next year, date tbd. |
