Where: Spring Creek Trail Head

Transportation: We will be meeting in the lobby of the Steamboat Grand Hotel at 1:30 pm and carpooling to the trailhead (3.4 miles, 12 minutes driving)

General Information: The Spring Creek Trail is an approximately 10 mile out and back trail near the center of town with approximately 1500 feet of gain. We will do 4-6 miles depending on how the group feels (just under 500 feet of gain). Depending on group size and desires we can divide into pace groups (Example: A group – conversational flat ground 8:30-9:30 min/mile 10k pace for those who run up hill quickly and still have a social conversation, B group – conversational flat ground 9:30-10:30 min/mile 10k pace for those who prefer to power hike up most uphills, C group – conversational flat ground 10:30 min/mile 10k pace hiking up hill) or stick together as one group.

Additional Notes:

• Please come prepared! All runners are REQUIRED to have adequate water and shoes that they are comfortable hiking/running in.
• NOTE – It will likely be hot so be sure to bring as much water as you think you will need.
• Snacks, sunscreen, rain jacket, gloves, and sunglasses are all HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
