Weekly Runs
Anyone is welcome to join DTR runs - no sign-ups necessary...just show up! We announce our weekly runs listed below on our Facebook group and in email from our Google Group list.
If you don't like or can't make any of the regular runs, you are welcome to start one on your own and post it on the DTR Facebook group.
Thursday Runs - 6:15pm
The Thursday evening run has been a DTR staple since 2000. All runners are welcome, slow to fast, young to old. The location changes every week, and while there's often a posted schedule for the summer, we usually make our location decision each week based on weather and trail conditions. The location and other run info will be posted in our Facebook group and Google Group email list.
We start Thursday runs at 6:15pm. The runs are usually about 1:00-1:15 long, although we sometimes go shorter in the winter (depending on the weather), and longer in the summer (depending on the location). In order to accommodate a wide range of abilities, we usually break up into different sub-groups after the start, and run different routes. Please review the maps and routes, and pick the appropriate route for you. See more information on selecting an appropriate route.
Post Thursday Run Dining: Many of us will go to dinner after the run at a nearby restaurant. Although we chat some before, after, and even during the runs, this is a great time to get to know others in DTR. We encourage you to join us, even if you don't make the run!
Sunday mornings
DTR Sunday runs give us a chance to go longer and sometimes farther away than during the week. The runs tend to be 1.5-2 hours long with options to go shorter or longer. Like on Thursdays, we typically break into different pace groups, and have stops at major trail junctions to regroup. Runs are mainly in the metro foothill trails, with some road trips throughout the summer and fall to destinations further into the mountains. Locations change each week, and will be announced via our Facebook group and Google Group email list.
Tuesday Mellow Deer Creek Run
We have a new group running on Tuesday evenings at Deer Creek! These runs have a relaxed page and are great for newer trail runners and those just wanting to take things easy! The Tuesday run begins at 5:30pm, and you'll see the announcement in Facebook and email.
Starting a New Run
Anyone is welcome to start a new run. There is no formal approval process or group leadership. Just pick a time and place, and use DTR to spread the word. Pick a time and place that you want to run anyway, and though it may take a bit...more folks will start coming!
Announce the run on our Facebook group. Please be specific about the date, start time, location, pace and/or distance/run time, and a brief description.
Interested in starting a group for another day or time? Post on Facebook and give it a go!
