It’s on like Donkey Kong, well minus the ladder climbing and barrel jumping, but finally the XTERRA Trail Run Series is coming to Colorado! Colorado has always been a major place to trail run, that’s why SeriousRunning.com has 117 trails to run listed in that state alone, so why hasn’t the largest trail running series, the XTERRA Trail Run Series, been in Colorado yet? I don’t know why, but I can forgive them because they are there now with the inagural race on October 3rd, 2009!
The Inagural Marathon of Trail Races at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs will feature a 5k, half-marathon and marathon trail races at Cheyenne Mountain National Park tails. This race is part of a three race series which is part of the 2010 Championship Series. The marathon will be a double loop and the half marathon will be a single loop on a packed, groomed, and extra wide race course. This race will be both challenging and rewarding, but then again, aren’t all challenges accomplished rewarding? This race is going to be a full race production with water stations, aid stations, and everything else you would expect from a XTERRA Trail Run in the new Colorado Series.
So forget what you might of heard, the Inagural Marathon of Trail Races at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs is on like Donkey Kong. Don’t be a donkey and miss out.
