As we sneak up on summer in Northern Colorado, we ask the question in today’s post…are you a mountain runner?

If the concept sounds intriguing to you or “peaks” your interest (pun intended), join us this summer at the Timberview Trail Run in Lory State Park.

Why? It’s an absolutely ideal race for athletes at all levels to experience trail running. It’s especially great for beginners with the shorter 5K distance having limited elevation gain and challenging terrain. The 5 mile and 10 mile courses are for intermediate and up athletes looking to challenge themselves OR brush up on their mountain running skills for a longer event they might be training for.

Perhaps the greatest reason to try a new trail run this summer is perspective. Get off the pavement, into nature and enjoy your surroundings with every step along your run journey 😉
