I’ll be in FC this weekend (and yes I know it’s going to be HOT!).
Looking for running routes, about 5-10 miles.
Preference is for a trail to run on. I have a car, though prefer close to town. I can do hills, though rolling/flat is better.
And/or a simple run on roads. I’ll be staying in the SW part of town, not far from the corner of College & Harmony.
Also would love to know of good open water swim locations. I did find two Masters teams on the Web (Vortex, plus another that uses the Edora Pool?) but am not sure the timing will work for that.
ah yes, I lived at the corner of harmony and college for 3 years. For running, head up shields and take a left on Horsetooth. Follow Horsetooth until it dead ends, in front of you will be miles and miles of sweet trail running. You can swim at the EPIC center which has a 50 meter pool, and there is a bike path from the pool that goes all the way through town. Also, the track at CSU is almost always open. As for open water swimming, I usually swam in a lake off of mulberry…but I dont think that was legal…and I dont really recommend it.
Have fun! and be sure to eat at Beau Jos pizza off of college in downtown FoCo…trust me on this one.
