RMRR Trophy Series - March

Lace up your shoes for the RMRR Trophy Series - March, a welcoming 5K event set against the scenic backdrop of Johnson Lake at Clement Park in Littleton, CO, on Sunday, March 1, 2026. This popular race, part of the Rocky Mountain Road Runners' esteemed monthly series, offers a unique and inclusive experience for runners of all abilities. The course itself is a single loop around the picturesque Johnson Lake, known for being fast with a few gentle hills, providing both a challenge and an opportunity for a strong finish.

What truly sets the RMRR Trophy Series apart is its innovative handicap start and scoring system. Runners are assigned staggered start times based on their estimated pace, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned athletes to first-time racers, has an equal chance to vie for the win, with the goal of having everyone finish around the same time. This fosters a fun, low-key, and supportive atmosphere where runners feel right at home. Typical race day conditions in early March present crisp air, with highs around 50°F and lows around 20°F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Arrive by 8:30 AM for bib pick-up before the 9:00 AM staggered start. After crossing the finish line, enjoy post-race snacks as results are compiled. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers, along with the top 10 members based on handicap times, adding a touch of competitive spirit to this community-focused event.
