About This Club
Colorado Columbines is a women-only running club based in Denver, running since 1978. It's built for a wide range of runners, from sub-7 min/mile pace up through walkers, so it genuinely suits someone who wants a women's-only space without a pace requirement to belong.
Highlights
- Women-only
- All abilities and paces
- Fun runs from homes/trails/restaurants
- Sunday morning group year-round
- Social network
- Fun runs
- Training groups
- Workshops
Who It Suits
This suits women runners at any level, from beginners to ultramarathoners, who want a consistent Sunday run plus optional fun runs and a social network around training. It's not built for men, since it's a women-only club, and it's not aimed at runners chasing highly competitive, non-social racing.

What a Run With Them Is Like
The core commitment is a Sunday morning group run at Reynolds Landing on the South Platte River Trail in Littleton, held year-round with snow cleared in winter.
Terrain is a mix of road and trail, and pace spans everything from sub-7 min/mile to a 13 min/mile walk, so the group isn't running as one pack. Beyond Sunday, there are fun runs on weekday evenings or weekend mornings that start from homes, trails, or restaurants, plus trail runs in summer.

Your First Run
Start by checking the club's message forum or events calendar to see what's actually on that week, since times and locations vary beyond the standing Sunday run. For Sunday, show up at Reynolds Landing on the South Platte River Trail in Littleton at 8AM.
Because paces range from sub-7 minute miles to walking, there's no pace you'd show up with that would be a mismatch, walkers are explicitly part of the group. At other events like Wash Park, the club suggests buddying up, so you're not expected to just figure it out alone.
