Here’s a repost by Marilyn from the Southern Colorado Runners list server forum. It’s a quick review of the Autumn Riverwalk & Run in Canon City earlier this month. Marilyn rates it an overall “save the date”.

This weekend my kiddos and I participated in the Autumn Riverwalk & Run Classic sponsored by the Canon City Parks and Recreation Department.

It was certainly a beautiful course, as this was a first time visit for us. There were a couple of glitches, i.e., my 10 year old ended up on private property, my 7 year old, my 8 year old, and I ended up on the 5 mile course instead of the 5k (They started all the runners (5k and 5 mile) together.

Although the glitches happened, we enjoyed the course and met a great unexpected goal of running 5 miles without stopping! The Canon City Parks and Recreation Department representatives were great. They were apologetic about the mix up and gave the kiddos tickets to enjoy Elitches before the end of the month.. What a great reward for them.

I just wanted to let you all know of our experience and another wonderful welcome as new comers. The course was filled with nature and right by the river…I would highly recommend your participation in this race next year …”Put it on your calendars”. It was another memorable experience for my family and I.
