Rave Run: Boulder, CO

Name: Heather @ Just A Colorado Gal  

Location: Boulder, CO at Chautauqua Park.  Begin by heading uphill on the Bluebell Mesa trail and then hook up with the Enchanted Trail to complete the circle. We used the McClintock trail for the last 1/2 mile climb out of the canyon.

Distance: 3.5 miles

Why I love this run: Although this run doesn’t cover a lot of mileage, it has a decent amount of elevation gain and loss that makes it a good way to get your heart rate up! Chautauqua is a beautiful area, and the FlatIrons are stunning to look at while you run. There are a ton of different trails to choose from, and those with strong legs can even do an out-and-back half marathon from Chautauqua to NCAR and back.  Although trail running can be tough at first, it is such a nice way to relax and unwind on an early Saturday morning. Even better?  The soft dirt trails are glorious for your knees!
