About This Club

Runner's Edge of the Rockies is a year-round, coached marathon training group operating across the Denver metro area, built for people training toward a half marathon, marathon, or ultra rather than a weekly jog with friends. It runs on membership, with structured workouts through the week, so it suits someone who wants a program and pace group to hold them accountable, not a drop-in social run.

Highlights

  • Pro coaching
  • 200+ training routes
  • Pace team provider for Colfax Marathon
  • Varied terrain/surfaces
  • Coaching
  • Supported runs with aid stations
  • Customized programs
  • Online coaching

Who It Suits

This fits someone training for a specific race distance who wants coaching, structure, and a pace group built around goal times, including beginners and walkers since those groups exist by design. It's not the fit if you want a casual, low-key social run or something built around a beer stop afterward, that's specifically called out as not what this is.

What a Run With Them Is Like

The week is built around a coached Saturday long run (starting between 6:30 and 8:00 AM depending on the season), Tuesday and Thursday speed and trail workouts, and a Sunday trail run.

Pace groups run from sub-3 hour marathoners down through run/walkers and walkers, so you're placed with people at your own pace rather than trying to keep up with the whole pack. Terrain mixes road and trail across more than 200 routes, and long runs are supported with aid stations.

Your First Run

Meeting spots change by location and day, so check the official schedule before you go rather than assuming it's the same spot every week. Membership is required to get full access to routes and schedule details, so that's a step to handle before your first run, not something you sort out on the curb.

Once you're there, you pick the pace group that matches your current ability, from sub-3 hour to walkers, so showing up as a walker or a run/walker isn't out of place here. Arriving early is worth it to get parked, find your group, and settle in before the start.
