XTERRA Trail Run – Colorado Series kicking off October 3rd!
Tweet
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.

Cheyenne Mountain State Park has some awesome trails and this is their first trail race in the park – definately a must do race.
It’s on like Donkey Kong – minus the OXYGEN! Can’t wait to hear all the heaving flatlanders gasping for that wee bit of oxygen (or wishing they had not kicked that EPO habit!)
Seriously though, these are awesome trails and the scenery is top shelf! Are we hoping to see Mr Barber there?!?!
As a CU alum, I’m drooling with envy of anyone who gets to run this race! As for the lack of oxygen, runners can always make this a training run, then pretend to be all fancy-pants by saying they’ve been training at altitude!
