Hi Runners,

This Saturday, February 3rd we are starting late, and you have the option of running a race. The Springs 7.2K Run starts at First Magnitude Brewing Company near Depot Park at 11:00 a.m. So, I am planning to get to Depot Park to park about 9 a.m., as I am doing the race too and packet pickup starts then. So I will go pick up the race number and packet if there is one, and be back at Depot Park (having done my warm up walk) and ready to start the trail about 9:30 a.m. IF you are not running the race, just come at 9:30. and you can go out as far as you want on the trail. IF you are running the race, you turn back when you want to. IF we get back by 10:30 or so we should be able to put on race number, change clothes if needed, use bathroom, and be at starting line by 11 a.m. And if you are ONLY running the race, we'll see you at the start or finish line!
