  • 10 Miles: Meet at Centennial Park in Englewood at 7 a.m.(See address below)
  • 7 Miles: Meet at Centennial Park at 7 a.m., and we will transport you down the trail so that you are running less distance.

Parent Help:
We are looking for 2 to 3 parents to help us out on Friday to chaperone at REI/Illegal Pete's and to help drive runner's back from Mineral Station to Centennial Park once we return, if they need to get their cars. If you can help please email Coach Dalby.
