From the Organizer
The Indian Creek Trail Runs is the oldest official race of HPRS and is also known as our annual “Fall Classic.” This event features some of the best, seldom used, single track trails of the Denver Metro area. Participants will travel through the lower and upper montane ecosystems of the Front Range; from the lodgepole pine forest around 6,000-8,000′ sprinkled with sprawling aspen groves, down to the tall grasses and red rocks of the lower montane areas around 5,000′. This time of year is known for the changing colors across Colorado’s landscape. From golden quaking aspen, to the bright red hues of low lying scrub oak, and the amber waves of tall grasses of America’s high prairie.
You’ll find it hard to believe that you’re so close to a major city, one that you can see from the many viewpoints along the route. While you admire glimpses of the city, you’ll also see the same red rock formations that make up the Red Rocks Amphitheater, and occasional glimpses of nearby 14ers that tower above the Colorado landscape.
