Champions Cup for the fastest team

Champions Cup Team Scoring: Top 8 men and top 8 women in the 5K will score points according to overall place BY GENDER using GUN TIME (cross country style).

New in 2024 – Teams with runners in the Larimer Mile will have the opportunity reduce their overall team score by placing runners in the top ten in both the men’s and women’s competitive races using places determined by GUN TIME. Point reductions will be awarded based on places from first to tenth in descending order, -10 to -1 points (ie first place M/F -10 points; second place M/F -9 points; tenth M/F -1 point; etc…). Team members can run one or both distances and there’s no limit to the number of runners a team can place in either race. This means, it is possible for a team to sweep first through tenth places in both the men’s and women’s mile races and reduce their total team score by the maximum 110 points (-55 for both the men’s and women’s mile). Lowest score wins!

Free Parking

To make things easy, we rented the Coors Field parking structure at 27th and Blake, 2 blocks from the start. You must arrive before 7:45 AM, as Blake St will close at Broadway 15 minutes before the start of the race.

Dispersed street parking available throughout the neighborhood, first come first serve.
