Reminder this Sunday the Horsetooth Half Training run will begin at 8:30 near Hughes Stadium. Please remember to SPRING FORWARD with your clocks!! The run is informal and each runner can choose their own pace and distance. Save the date! April 6 is our next (and last) Tortoise and Hare. Immediately following will be our […]
Twenty-five members of the Fort Collins Running Club participated in today’s Tortoise & Hare race: the rerouted (due to construction) Lee Martinez Park 10k. The turnout was “not bad” considering 1) the longer distance and 2) the simply ridiculous (for March) starting temperature of 4F. In fact, this was the coldest race in what has […]
The Lee Martinez Park 10k Tortoise & Hare race is still on for this Sunday at 8:00 am. However, we have had to significantly change the course due to construction. Part of the course will be running on sidewalk/bike lanes alongside potentially busy roads. For safety reasons we advise against bringing dogs or pushing a […]
Just a reminder, the next T and H is this Sunday at Lee Martinez. The race starts at 8am, but get there by 7:45 to sign in! This race is a 10k. We will need to reroute the traditional course due to construction. As always, bagels to follow! For those who need more miles this […]

FCRC member Libby James was just honored in Running Times. She turned 77 last July and her 2013 performances exceeded world-record efforts. Here are some excerpts about Libby: She didn’t enter a race until age 40, refers to herself as a “plodder” and has never had a coach, but Libby James is one of the […]
The other day, Coloradoan had an article on the FCRC president, Dan Berlin, written by Libby James. It is a good one. Here is the article. If the article disappears from the web (as Coloradoan articles are bound to do after a few months), you can download the article (PDF).

The 6th Annual Flying Pig 5k Run/Walk will be held on April 6, 2014 at Spring Canyon Park. While that is the same morning as our Cottonwood Glen 12k Tortoise & Hare race, those who would prefer to do a shorter race can take solace that the Flying Pig 5k is offering FCRC members a […]
Our very own Nick Clark may appear very calm and collected while directing our monthly Tortoise & Hare races, but when he is out on the trail, he is an absolute beast. Most of us already knew that Nick—a husband and father of two with a full-time job as a writer/editor—was one of the world’s […]

FCRC members can enter a special code on online registration, or in person at […]

What better half marathon to sign up for than the Horsetooth Half Marathon, one of the oldest half marathons in the country? Not only is it an astoundingly beautiful course, but it ends at […]
