C.O.P.S. WINTER RACE SERIES

For runners seeking a unique challenge as winter transitions to spring, the C.O.P.S. WINTER RACE SERIES presents an exhilarating 90-minute timed race on March 18, 2026, in Golden, Colorado. Hosted by Golden Mountain Runners and Golden Endurance, this event is part of a distinctive series designed to keep the local running community active through the colder months.

The race unfolds on the intriguing terrain of the Colorado State Patrol car training track on South Table Mountain. Runners will navigate a course that includes a dirt road ascending to the top of the mesa, where pavement resumes on the track itself. This promises a diverse running experience with potential for varied surfaces and elevation changes characteristic of the Golden area. Typical race day conditions in mid-March offer pleasant highs around 56°F and lows near 31°F, with only a 7% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for pushing your limits.

What sets this race apart is its timed format, allowing participants to cover as much ground as possible within the 90-minute window, a different challenge than traditional fixed-distance events. The C.O.P.S. WINTER RACE SERIES fosters a strong sense of community and competition, making it a staple for local runners looking to test their endurance and pace on a truly distinctive course.
