On Memorial Day, Alamosa's Brittni Hutton won the BolderBoulder 10k citizen's race, in a time that would've ranked very well in the professional, elite race.  Brittni answers a few questions about that race, Alamosa, and is our May "The Runner Box" runner of the month.

Elite Trail ultrarunner Dave Mackey suffered severe leg injuries after a fall from a ridge near the summit of Bear Peak in Boulder, Colorado, on Saturday morning. He was evacuated by members of the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group and is recovering in stable condition.

Over the weekend a close friend and long-time Boulder runner confessed that he’d never visited Rocky Mountain National Park. The iconic park just outside of Estes Park turns 100 this year! And it’s full of great opportunities for adventure running.

Zach Miller rocketed to the top of ultrarunning last year, and left a cruise ship for a home base in Colorado Springs. Almost immediately after finishing fifth at the world class Transvulcania ultra last weekend, he announced on his blog that he was taking up residence at Barr Camp, halfway up Pikes Peak.  I had to know more.

Pristine racing conditions set the stage for the 11th Annual Greenland Trail Races.  The event featured a 50K, 25K and 8 Mile, all of which circumvented the trails within the Greenland Open Space just south of Larkspur, CO.  Over 800 participants - newbies and veterans alike - took to the dirt-packed trails under scattered clouds and temperatures in the mid 60's.

Race in Colorado often enough and you're bound to soon find Andy Rinne towards the front. The Colorado Springs runner has already race eight times this year, winning three times and finishing on the podium five times. The 5k is his favorite distance and he's run as fast as 16:41 this year, as a 39 year old.

Weather predictions came true Sunday morning for the 33rd Annual Cherry Creek Sneak.  Much like the 2014 event, cloudy skies, rain and chilly temperatures set the stage for the multiple race distances that kicked off throughout the morning.  Fortunately, the wind stayed calm and the flat and fast course proved to be an attraction for some of Colorado's top runners.

It’s an early spring morning in Boulder, Colorado, and I’m sitting in a local coffee shop drinking a piping hot coffee and trying to warm up. Typical for Colorado in early spring, it is blizzarding out, with a cold wet snow coming down. Just the day before, however, it was sunny and 70 degrees out. The local trails had finally started to dry out from a fickle winter, and trail runners were rejoicing at finally being able to get in some solid time on the trails under warm, sunny skies.
