runFAR Running Club

Looking for a non-competitive running group? Join FAR for a weekly run along the Riverwalk. We'll meet at Cañon City MUGS (1520 Royal Gorge Blvd.), head toward the Riverwalk, and enjoy a 3-mile jog. Back at MUGS, enjoy beer and food specials. If you can't make it by 5:00, don't worry - the course is marked. Head out for your run / jog and meet us back on the patio for social time. Join 10 runs and get a FREE t-shirt!

FAQ's

Do I have to run the whole 5K / 3 miles? 
Nope! Run as far as you'd like, turn around, and come back to hang out! 

What if I can't make it at 5:00?
Come when you can! We'll set off at 5:00 with whomever is there, but you can start whenever you'd like. Everyone runs / walks / rolls at their own pace, so just turnaround whenever you'd like (the 5K halfway mark is marked with a cone) and come back for food and drinks at a discount!

Is this course suitable for all modes of travel? 
This course travels behind the businesses on Royal Gorge Blvd, so it's not paved or maintained and may not be suitable for wheelchairs or other adaptive modalities. We also cross the bridge on 9th Street. If this makes you nervous, you can join us at the Sells Avenue Trailhead of the Riverwalk for an abbreviated version and then drive on over to MUGS afterwards.
