Welcome to Colorado, Wylie Mangelsdorf!  The Alaskan transplant has finished as high as third in the famed Mount Marathon and now brings those mountain running skills to Colorado.  Mangelsdorf talks training, Alaska, and, of course, Mount Marathon, in the below interview.

Cool temperatures and even a few snowflakes set the stage for the Rockin' on the River 5K Sunday morning at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, CO.  The race is the second event in the South Suburban Parks & Recreation District’s Race Series, sponsored by Run Colorado.

Denver's Runnin' of the Green 7k is always one of the area's biggest spring races.  Eva Krchova's name popped up at the top of the results, first in 25:19 and over a minute ahead of second place.  It wasn't a mistake, Krchova's a new elite-level runner to the area.

Pristine race conditions set the stage for the 6th Annual Frank Shorter RACE4Kids’ Health 5K & Health Odyssey Expo Sunday morning at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, CO.  Over 600 participants came out and took part in one of the many activities taking place:  the new Mazzola’s Miracle Mile Relay, the Diaper Dash and Buzz, and of course, the flat and fast 5K course around the 1STBANK Center.

The motivation to run can come from a host of different places.  Most runners have fitness goals and race PR's on their minds, while others have very different, and much more personal reasons.

Justin Ricks, of Colorado Springs, is a life-long runner and our March Runner Box Colorado Runner of the Month.  A former high school star and a 2:22 marathoner, he won the recent Salida "Run Through Time" Marathon against a field that included four past champions.

Best known as a road runner with sub-15 5k and sub-4 1500m bests, Matt Kempton turned to trails last year and won four races in the Vail Trail Running Series. This year he advanced to the more competitive La Sportiva Mountain Cup and finished second in the Cup’s first race. Kempton answered a few questions ahead of the second Cup race this weekend.

Get outside and get active this summer by challenging yourself to a triathlon. Between swimming, biking, and running, a triathlon will test your endurance and strength both physically and mentally. All the training and hard work will be worth it in the end when you run across the finish line with friends and family cheering you on.

Triathlete Magazine, the world’s #1 triathlon publication, has named the Rudy Project Transition 46 as the ‘Best in Class’ transition bag. This versatile racing and training bag has been featured in the 2015 Buyer’s Guide, which hit stands recently.
