Pikes Peak Road Runners

Colorado Springs, Colorado

This map depicts ten historical articles written by Jack Anthony for the Pikes Peak Road Runners “Long Run” monthly magazine, January-December 2005.  The 17-mile “History Trail Run” journey starts at the Woodmen Road trailhead of the Pikes Peak Greenway and then connects with the New Santa Fe Regional Trail at the southern boundary of the Air Force Academy and concludes at Palmer Lake.  The final article is on the Greenland Loop, which is located north of Palmer Lake.  Click on the red links on the map to view the history for that section of the trail.  Enjoy your long runs along this trail, and also enjoy reading about the areas' history.
