With less than a mile to go in the La Sportiva/GoLite Castlewood Cliffs 10K Trail Run, barely a step separated Bill Raitter and Ben Marvin. Raitter had placed sixth here in 2005, while Marvin was a newcomer to the La Sportiva/GoLite Front Range Frenzy Trail Running Series.
Castlewood Cliffs marked the opening of the 5-race series that showcases the variety of trail running available along the Colorado Front Range. The series offers $1,800 in prize money to the top series point winners, and sponsor merchandise to the top point winners in each 5-year age group. A runner's top-3 series races count toward series points.
The Castlewood Cliffs 10K is measured at 6.5 miles and treats runners to a scenic run through the canyon bottom along Cherry Creek.
Half-way into the race, runners climb for nearly a mile to the rim of the canyon for a spectacular run along the edge of Castlewood Cliffs. The final mile climbs through unique boulder formations with a challenging stair-step climb to the race finish.
Despite still feeling weary from the Boston Marathon less than 2 weeks earlier, Marvin managed to use the final climbing mile to pull away to a 16 second margin of victory over Raitter to finish in 44:54. Raitter dropped a minute from his 2005 time to cross the line in 45:10.
In the women's race, it was another newcomer to the series, Boulder's Susan Nuzum, who took the win, finishing in 56:03, with Jennifer Lee of Fort Collins taking second 2 minutes back.
The top-3 overall winners took home gift certificates from Boulder Running Company valued at $150, $100, and $50.
The next race in the series is a hill climb up Lookout Mountain in Golden on Saturday July 22nd. Lookout Mountain is a Front Range landmark, and the route climbs 1,900 feet via a 4.5 mile mix of singletrack and wider park trails.
