About This Club

Colorado Harriers is a Denver-based distance team built around structured track, tempo, and long run workouts, run as a 501(c)(3) non-profit out of Highland. It's free, open to all abilities, and doesn't require membership, but the sessions themselves are workouts with a purpose, not casual jogs. This fits committed adults training for races who want a team structure behind their training.

Who It Suits

This suits distance runners who want structured workouts, track intervals, tempo runs, and long runs, and are training toward a race with real intent, including marathoners. It's not built for casual walkers, for beginners who want to avoid intensity, or for anyone running with a dog or stroller. It also goes quiet in winter, so it's not a fit if you're looking for year-round sessions.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Tuesday mornings are track work at Denver North High School Track, starting 6:15am, with the warmup done on your own beforehand. Thursday evenings are tempo runs meeting near Highland Bridge & Platte St by Denver Beer Co, with the group warming up together.

Twice a month on Sundays the team runs long, anywhere from 10 to 20 miles, aerobic and medium-slow, with recovery pace kept genuinely easy. Everything runs on track, road, and street, and the paces are structured rather than freeform.

Your First Run

For a Tuesday session, get yourself warmed up before 6:15am and head to Denver North High School Track. For Thursday, find the group near Highland Bridge & Platte St around 6:30pm and warm up together at 6:35.

Locations can shift week to week, so check the calendar, Strava, or the Facebook group beforehand, or just email coloradoharriers@gmail.com if you're unsure where to be. The workouts are open to all abilities, so being new to the paces isn't a barrier, but come ready to actually run the session rather than ease in.
