Description:

Leave the pavement behind and join us for our third annual Run the Rim "Strong 5K" (3.6 mile) Trail Run at the Royal Gorge Park Trails! This challenging (yes, there are hills) but beautiful course will take you along a winding single track system that features all the best of the Royal Gorge Region: piñon trees, grand vistas, and views of the Royal Gorge. 

 
**Please note that this event takes place on natural-surface singletrack trails. There WILL be loose rocks and varied terrain. Those who are not comfortable on uneven surfaces should not participate.**
 
We'll meet at the Royal Gorge Ranch and Resort parking lot and run directly from the stagin area. (No more bus this year.) The course will follow some of our newest trails, including Made in the Shade and One Track Mind, before returning to the parking / staging area via double-track dirt road (no vehicle traffic). Participants will recieve a commemorative Royal Gorge Trails Silipint cup.
 
 
As always, there will not be awards for age group finishers, but there will be a "dash for cash". This allows the first runner in each age group (>18, 19-40, and 40+, male and female) to make a mad dash for a bag o' gold. 
 
Walkers are welcome on the course, but the nature of the single track trail will not accomodate strollers or chariots. 

Features:

 Goody Bag

 

Course description:

The 5K+ course will begin their run at the Clubhouse at the Royal Gorge Ranch and Resort.

Take Made in the Shade trail to the special event-only cuttoff to the dirt roads winding back to the clubhouse. This course is approximately 50% singletrack and 50% double-track dirt road.
