Cooldown Running Denver - Tuesday Run

Cooldown Running Denver is back for its Tuesday run on October 13, starting at 6:30 PM. It's part of a weekly series that runs every Tuesday evening, so if this one doesn't work for you, there's another one the following week.

The distance is anywhere from one to five miles, and the whole thing is open to any pace. You can run the distance or walk it, and you don't have to stick to one or the other—it's a low-key, no-pressure affair. That's a good way to put it, because the run is built as an easy entry point for people who are new to town or new to group running. If you've been looking for a way to get into the city's run scene without feeling like you have to keep up with a certain pace, this is a good place to start.

One of the things that sets it apart from a typical run club is the location. Instead of meeting at the same spot every week, the starting point rotates. The exact location is announced on the @cooldownrunning Instagram account, so you'll want to check there before you head out. The rotating mystery location keeps it from feeling like a routine you get bored of, and it gives you a chance to see different parts of the city.

Cooldown Running is a national social run movement with a strong Denver chapter. The city's run club scene is as layered as Denver itself, with dozens of groups launching across the metro on any given Tuesday evening, and this run leans into that: it's more about the social side than the stats. The guide frames the city's run clubs as "the singles bar and support group rolled into one, minus the small talk about horoscopes."

The run starts at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, October 13, and it's free.
