Congratulations to all ZOOMA Denver finishers! Over 700 women showed up on race day for ZOOMA Denver, and we were blessed with an extraordinary Colorado morning. Race results are here. All in all, I am very happy with the inaugural ZOOMA Denver race. Central Park is a fantastic venue for the start/finish and post-race party. Our sponsors and vendors created a fabulous post-race experience for runners and spectators, and we loved the beer from Left Hand Brewing! The finish line is stunning with the mountains in the background. Packet pick ups went really well, course management was flawless, volunteers did a great job… Bravo!
Based on your comments, next year we may re-think some of the course on the sandy trail. (By way of explanation, the trail was “re-sanded” the week before the race. We were as surprised as you were by the deep sand out there!) The unusually warm morning meant that an extra water station could have been useful towards the end of the race. There are also some parts of the half marathon course we will change by necessity as the race grows in size. Thanks to everyone for your constructive feedback. Stay tuned for info about the 2010 event. We’re hoping to finalize a date by mid-November!
