So get ready to earn it - you know you're gonna grab a slice or two! If you’re ready to register for the Park Hill Pizza Pie – click that button! Otherwise, read on; the deep dish of data on the City Park Winter Running Series is below.
This event kicks off the City Park Winter Running Series!
So gobble those carbs and hit that trail, 'cause we're going to be out here running - snow, sleet, wind or, ... well, it's Colorado, so 300+ days of sunshine-a-year! When the going gets tough - the tough grab another slice o' Park Hill Pizza Pie! Oh yeah, and we are runners, after all, so when the going gets tough we actually do go out and crank out at least a couple miles!
Sorry, ... I digest ... er, I mean digress.
The City Park Winter Series has 7 themed events over 5 winter months, begining in November with a gaggle of pizza gobbling goons at the Park Hill Pizza Pie and slipping slowly into March madness and the grand finale at Lucky Laces!
- All events include 1 Mile, 5K, 10K (on a certified course) and a youth run
- All events are professionally timed with results streaming automatically to Athlinks
- All events include finisher and awards medals with the standard registration fee
- All events count in the scoring for the series finisher and awards medals
o Series scoring is simple; must participate in and complete 3 events to qualify. Scoring is based on your top 3 places in your age division. All ties are broken by combining your fastest 3 times and then dividing to bring all the times down to a 5K average. The 1 Mile events do not qualify for anything other than the competition within themselves, but the 5K and 10K can be mixed and matched.
- Strollers and pets are welcome at all events (you know the rules)
