RMRR September Trophy Series
The Rocky Mountain Road Runners host the September edition of their monthly Trophy Series in Thornton, Colorado. This event provides a low-cost racing environment located at the Riverdale Ballfields. Participants can choose between two race distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
The 10 km race utilizes a unique handicap start system where participants begin in waves from slowest to fastest over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Each runner is assigned a specific start time based on their estimated finish time, allowing participants of various speeds to compete for a win on equal footing. Runners in the 5 km category start together approximately 15 minutes after the first 10 km participants have departed.
The course for both distances consists of an out-and-back route. The terrain is a combination of paved surfaces and smooth gravel. The venue at 9830 Riverdale Road offers ample parking for all attendees within the park area. Registration is open to the general public and requires an estimated finish time to facilitate the scoring and start system. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
