• Head north along 16th into the East High school campus to the east side of the sports field,
• Head east into City park through the traffic singly along Columbine and 17th
• Follow the city park road as it continues southeast and around the park to Steele Street.
• Cross 17th at the traffic Signal on Steele Street.
• Return west along Steele Street to 11th.
• Continue south on 11th and the along the southern trail in Cheesman Park to 9th Ave.

Please Note: To Cross Colfax safely, at Mile one, use the crosswalk on Williams Street.
Stay on paved paths in City Park.
To Cross Colfax on return, cross at Steele then go one half -block east to remain on Steele.

Regular Option Course: Runners head to Washington Park via Marion Street, circle the park and return on the same path. To the edge of Washington Park and back is approximately 3.5 miles. One loop around the park is 2.5 miles, and entire course is approximately 6 miles. Runners/walkers may turn around at any point and head back. The course includes city streets and sidewalks until reaching Washington Park where runners use a dirt trail course around the park. Walkers head towards Cheesman Park for a brisk stroll of 2 times around the edge of the park taking in the beauty of the front range mountains in the distance (approx. 3.2 miles). Runners who prefer a shorter run with less street running may also run Cheesman Park.

After Run/Walk Social Gathering at Buzz Café on 6th and Marion: After our runs and walks we walk three blocks south from the school to the Buzz Café where we enjoy coffee and each other.
