Welcome to the Farrunner forum. The purpose of this forum is to provide a place for discussion of the trails in the Colorado Springs area. I hope that as you run on the various trails, you will report the conditions for other runners to use in planning their runs. Also I would like some discussion on training and events. Check out the website farrunner.com for more details on the trails listed here.

No new posts Palmer Park

Palmer Park is a 700+ acre park in the heart of Colorado Springs. Deeded to the city in 1899 by General William Palmer, it has become one of the more popular locations for hiking, biking, running, and horse riding in the area. There are numerous picnic areas and recreational facilities in addition to the trail system. It is said that there are about 25 miles of formal trails within the park so there is no shortage of trails for any level of user.

No new posts Pulpit Rock

Pulpit Rock Park is nestled east of I-25 in the Rockrimmon Area. It is bordered by UCCS to the south and Dublin Road and housing to the north and University Park to the east. It is one of the larger parks in the Colorado Springs area similar to Red Rocks, Palmer Park, Garden of the Gods in that it is a large park in an urban setting.

This is a moderate run/hike with some climbs but nothing too steep. A short steep descent with rocky conditions on my route but it can be avoided by taking a different trail. About 2.75 miles but there are many more possibilities to lengthen the trail which I will leave for another day.
