Hello-
I’ll be in Dever Wed through Fri this week and would like to get some ‘altitude training’ in. OK, really, I just want to go for a couple of 3 to 5 mile runs around my hotel in the early (6:00am ish) morning. I’ll be staying at 6363 E. Hampden Ave. Denver, CO 80222, US, but I have no idea what that means. Any Denver-ites out there that can tell me where I can run to from that location–I will not have access to a car so it will need to be from my hotel door.
Thanks!
Dave
Cherry creek state park is probably the closest non-road runs…
Here is a very detailed map of the area…welcome to colorado.

There is also a bike path just north of where you are staying…
If you only want a 3 to 5 mile run then the nearest trail may be the Highline Canal trail. From your hotel go 1/4 block East to Monaco, turn left (North), go about .75 miles, cross over Yale and the trail is 50 yards north of Yale. You may be able to go through the neighboorhood on the North side of the hotel to avoid the sidewalk. If you search the web on Highline Canal trail there are a bunch of maps. also at the coloradolottery web site under the about section they have a map of the trail. You will be in south denver at I25 and Hampden. Also may want to try www.rmrr.org
If you go to the trail run towards the east.
good luck
Fabulous! Thanks for the tip!
