Pikes Peak Road Runners Fall Series
The Fall Series is four trail races held in different city and county parks around Colorado Springs. Distances increase as the series progresses and the courses include a mix of well maintained trails, single track, rocky sections, and trails with tree roots.
- 3.8 miles
- 4.0 miles
- 5.5 miles
- 7.4 miles
Course highlights vary by venue. One course begins and finishes on soccer fields and uses a regional trail and single track sections. Another starts on a large grass field and moves onto side trails. One event uses Piñon Valley Park and the rockier, hillier Ute Valley Park, which contains single track and areas where snakes may be present. The Palmer Park course features loose rocks and uneven footing.
Entrants must be 15 years or older. No animals, baby joggers or strollers, earbuds or headphones, bikes, or trikes are allowed; violations result in disqualification for insurance and safety reasons. The series is chip timed and all scoring is based on chip time. Early unofficial starts are possible by contacting the Race Director, but unofficial times are not eligible for awards.
Awards are only available to runners who complete all four races; there are no awards for individual races. Overall top three male and female finishers receive gift cards of $125, $100, and $75. Age group top three awards in 5 year increments from 15–19 to 85–89 receive $50, $20, and $15. No duplicate awards; overall winners are not eligible for age group awards. Awards must be picked up at the November awards dinner; unclaimed awards will be redistributed at that event.
Registration is online only, closes at 5:00 pm the day before each race, and there is no race day registration. Series and single race fees differ for members and non members; entry fees include the event SWAG, a Runner's Magic Scarf.
