The town of Breckenridge this summer will host a Fourth of July trail running race, the Summit Trail Running Series from July through mid-September and two standalone races in September.
Town of Breckenridge Sports and Special Events Coordinator Vince Hutton said the Independence Day 10K Trail Run will have a start time of 7 a.m. July 4.
The Fourth of July race kicks off the town’s traditional Fourth of July festivities, which also feature the Firecracker 50 mountain bike race, and finishes on Main Street. The race, which encompasses two 5.5-mile loops with 857 feet of vertical gain, has no same-day registration and is limited to 250 runners.
The School Buzz: Air Academy runner is one of fastest freshmen in the nation
An Air Academy High School cross country runner is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about freshmen in the country.
Bethany Michalak s resume is already remarkable after one season: a 4A cross country state champion, CHSAA’s 4A Cross Country Athlete of the Year, had the second-fastest time ever posted on the state cross country course at Norris Penrose Events Center, and is a nominee for Gatorade Athlete of the Year for Colorado.
Bethany was also named by Sportswomen of Colorado as the most promising athlete. Easy to see why she is ranked as one of the top freshman runners in the nation.
