Losers “bump down” to the next lower court.

2026-04-04 08:00 - 12:30 | St Mary’s Glacier, St. Mary's Glacier Parking, Idaho Springs, CO, 80452, United States
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Saint Mary’s Glacier on this 1.7-mile out-and-back hike near Idaho Springs, Colorado. This short but rewarding adventure climbs over 500 feet in less than a mile, making it a moderately challenging trek with big alpine payoffs.
The rocky trail leads to a stunning high-alpine lake and glacier, surrounded by dramatic mountain views. It’s a beautiful spot to pause, take photos, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. For those who want a little more adventure, there is an option to continue beyond the glacier and explore higher terrain—we’ll decide as a group how far we want to go.
Because this hike sits at over 10,000 feet in elevation, expect thinner air and changing mountain conditions. Take your time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the journey.
Trail Details:

Distance: 1.7 miles (round trip to the glacier)
Elevation Gain: 500+ feet
Difficulty: Moderate
Terrain: Rocky, steep in sections, and often snowy or icy

What to Bring:

Microspikes or snowshoes depending on conditions
Trekking poles
Warm layers
Water and snacks
Sunglasses and sun protection

Meetup and Parking:
We will meet as a group at the trailhead (not in the parking lots). Parking is $20 per car (cash or electronic payment). The two parking lots fill up quickly, so organizing carpools in our private FB group is highly encouraged.
Important Notes:

The trail climbs steeply to the alpine lake before reaching the glacier.
The area can be windy and much colder than Denver, so dress in layers.
Please stay on durable surfaces and respect the fragile alpine environment.
This hike may be short, but the views are unforgettable—perfect for anyone wanting a quick adventure with a big mountain feel!

Denver Colfax Marathon - Relay Teams
2026-05-17 | Denver, CO, Denver, CO, United States
Are you looking for a meaningful New Year’s resolution? A fun goal to train toward with friends? A reason to reconnect with people after the holidays, but under a shared challenge? We’ve got the perfect solution: come run the Denver Colfax Marathon Relay with us!

Shared challenge, shared glory. Rather than go solo for 26.2 miles, imagine crossing that finish line with 4 of your teammates with each person running one leg. We’ll be pushing each other, celebrating together at the end, and sharing one epic experience.
Flexible commitment, huge payoff. You only need to run one leg! Even if you’re not marathon-ready, you can still be part of something big. With 5 runners per team, each leg is manageable, but the collective experience is powerful. The shortest leg is 3.8 miles, and the longest leg is 6.5 miles.
Fun, sights, community. The course spans iconic Denver, from stadiums to downtown streets, lakesides, and city neighborhoods. It’s not just a race. It’s a chance to see the city in a new way, high-five friends at relay exchanges, and share a milestone together. The full relays cover a variety of terrain and scenery.
Make 2026 a year of purpose. Many of us set vague intentions at New Year’s – get healthier, try something new, push ourselves. Signing up now makes 2026 concrete.

The Relay Details
We will form 3 teams of 5 people each.

The relay is broken into five legs of varying lengths/difficulty, so no leg is overwhelming.

Leg 1: urban river – 6.5 miles
Leg 2: no groans at Sloan’s – 3.8 miles
Leg 3: eclectic mile high – 5.9 miles
Leg 4: screaming downhill – 4.0 miles
Leg 5: downtown river trek – 6.0 miles

It’s open to anyone, no need for “hard-core marathoners.”
You’ll get the official Denver Colfax Marathon 20th anniversary relay swag as well as an official WAC race day shirt!
