Fans on the Field 10k 2007

I had a lot of fun at this race. It started on the east side of Mile High Stadium (I will never call it Invesco Field, dammit, it's Mile High!) and ran over to LoDo, then into Coors Field for an out-and-back into the stadium along the third base line! Digger was there slapping fives as I came in.

Then it was out of the baseball stadium and around and through the Pepsi Center, home of the Nuggets, Mammoth, and Avalanche! Fortunately that stadium was set up for lacrosse games, not hockey, or else that could have been very embarassing. Not to mention painful.

Once clear of the Pepsi Center, we ran back towards Mile High, taking a route that passed along next to (as it then was) Six Flags Elitch Gardens (Six Flags has since sold it). Then back along the Raging Platte River to the east side of Mile High again, then along outside that stadium to the North entrance, and through and across (but, sadly, not across the pristine grass; we were on the east sideline). I could see myself on the giant jumbotron coming down the lane, which was pretty cool. Then it was out the South entrance, a quick turn to the right, and across the finish line!

This was a very enjoyable 10K, and the end to a very busy and rewarding weekend, topping off a truly remarkeable week. I'll run this race again, and do better than 60:53!
