Mark Your Calendar for a morning of running and
socializing at the MRU 14th annual Devil’s Throne Fun
Run. This will also be the AUGUST HANDICAP RUN
for the Albuquerque Road Runners Club
WHEN: Saturday morning, August 13th, 2010, 9:00
AM
WHERE: Cerrillos, New Mexico
We encourage walkers and runners to join us on
Saturday morning, August 13th in beautiful Cerrillos,
New Mexico where we will run or walk up the “hill from
hell”, Devil’s Throne. The measured distance for
the event is 5 miles, but you may run or walk as far
as you like. Water and light snacks will be provided
at the end of the run in Cerrillos.
We will enjoy a meal together at the Greenside
Café, 12165 Hwy14, in Cedar Crest following the
run/walk.
Once again, we will
be giving a prize for the best dressed devil. It will
be hard to beat Glenda's costume of last year but this
is your challenge!
We want to remain
as unobtrusive as possible so as not to bother the
town folk in the quiet community of Cerrillos.
We will park and begin the run on the trail just west
of town and north of the tracks. To arrive as
this location, take I-40 east to Tijeras. Travel
north from Tijeras on old Highway 14. You will
pass by Cedar Crest, Golden, and Madrid. When
you arrive in Cerrillos (about 3 miles north of
Madrid) you will be driving in on Main Street.
Make the first right had turn onto First Street.
You will cross the railroad tracks and make the first
left onto Waldo Canyon Road. You will drive a
short distance crossing a cattle guard and then a
ravine/gully. There is a grove of trees
immediately to the right. We will park there and
begin and finish the run at that location.
This fun run replaces the 15k and 5K event that Gil
Duran sponsored and managed for years in memory of his
grandfather.
Please call Cece Niemczyk at 268-4664 or Alan Overmier

be attending. Please try to carpool. HOPE
TO SEE YOU IN CERRILLOS!
