I’m running 20 next saturday and need an idea for a good place to run. My default option is to start at the south Teller Farms trail head and head north. I’ve sort of run this trail to death though and I’m looking for something new. I’ve heard of a nice trail system around button rock res, but haven’t heard any first hand accounts.
So any thoughts? I’d like the route to flat (but not boringly so). Rolling hills are fine, just no epic climbs, especially in the later stages.
Here’s one!

It starts in Niwot, rather than Boulder (but if you’re used to teller farm, this shouldn’t be a deal). It starts at the high school, but you said you’re doing saturday. The high school is on top of a big hill, but it’s slow and gradual. I haven’t run this route in over a year - it’s been a long time since I’ve done a 20 miler. However, 90% of it is on a running path, with the rest on a sidewalk. Hope this one works for you!
