After CHSAA · through Nov 21

Free November training

Join us after the CHSAA season ends through November 21, 2026. November training is free, whether or not you register for winter. Weekday practices start at 3:30 p.m. and finish around 5:00–5:15 p.m.

A two-mile time trial is planned during November 8–14; the exact day is forthcoming. NXR Southwest on November 21 is optional, with a community 5K opportunity for middle school runners. Race registration and travel are separate.

After the final fall race · December

Recover, then ease back in

After their final fall race, we recommend athletes take 10 days to three weeks off from running to recover, enjoy the holidays and recharge for spring. Even athletes eager to keep going should take at least 10 days off.

There are no group practices in December. After that break, winter registration includes a written plan and Final Surge access for gradually returning to easy running on their own.

January 4–February 28, 2027

Eight coached weeks

We plan 3–4 practices per week, focusing on the 800m and longer. Monday is confirmed as a regular practice day; the other days are forthcoming. Weekday practices generally run 3:30–5:30 p.m., with daylight adjustments.

Locations and practice times will be shared on SportsYou. Optional Colorado indoor race opportunities in January and February are forthcoming. Race entries, travel and UCCS admission are separate. CHSAA’s official first track practice is March 1, 2027.
