November 2026 Trophy Series – 15Km and 5Km at Prairie Gateway Park

  • November sees RMRR running at Prairie Gateway Park in Commerce City. 
      • Our 15Km Trophy Series and 5Km races will start at 8:30 am on Sunday, Nov 1st. 
  • The 5 km race will start at approximately 20 to 30 minutes after the beginning of the race.
  • This is our next to last race for the year, and a great opportunity for people to improve their Trophy Series scores.  
  • We run on a relatively flat and fast packed gravel trail – good surface for comfortable running and some faster times!

Two important timing things to remember:

  1. Our November race starts at 8:30 am.
  2. Daylight Savings Time begins at 2am before our race.  Set your clock back the night before…or just come early to sign in and help.  Either one is ok!
  3. One more thing…in case you missed it, the race starts at 9 am!  And set your clock back!

Date:   November 1st
Time:   8:30 am start for the 15 km, 9:30 am start for the 5 km.  Show up at least 45 minutes early to get your tag and warm up.  Don’t make the volunteers wait for you – they want to run, too!
