Speed work is a great addition to any training regimen. This 12 week series from Coach Erin Leaf is a fantastic addition to any training regimen. Whether you are looking ahead to the fall race season, or wanting to become a stronger runner, join us for one heck of a great time!
Rise & Shine!
Wednesday mornings at 5:30AM
September - May
Come Rise & Shine with the Cheyenne Running Club for a fantastic start to your Tuesday! This is a weekly event great for all skill and experience levels. So come join us to jog, run, run/walk, or even skip any distance you feel like. We change up our route each week to cruise through different parts of the surrounding areas, plus there are many food / coffee options for that well earned post run treat. As an added bonus, portions of the year we will also provide runners the chance to welcome the sun and bask in the splendor of a Wyoming sun rise!
Shoes Cruise to Booze
Thursday evenings
All Year
Thursday nights should be a celebration, as we are almost through the traditional work week. So why not have some fun with a free Cheyenne Running Club run, then socialize after over nice pint of a frosty beverage. This weekly event will move locations each week, to mix up the terrain and booze options. Though please note, post run drinks are optional.
As always, our runs are good for everyone at all pace, skill, distance, and experience levels. These runs are just about getting together with other runners to enjoy the social aspect of our sport.
Coffee Run
Saturday mornings
Mid September - Mid June
Start the week off with a little run, then indulge in some fun socializing with your fellow runners over a cup joe. Of course, any coffee or treats are purely optional. Locations vary by week, to keep things fresh. 'Cause we all know there is nothing worse than old coffee.
This is a weekly event great for all skill and experience levels. So come join us to jog, run, run/walk, or even skip any distance you feel like.
Trail Run
Weekend mornings
All Year
Join us for an adventure in the dirt, where we will rotate locations each week between Curt Gowdy, Happy Jack, Vedauwoo, and 3 of our in town trail systems. If you are new to trails, this is a great way to get a taste of the splendor that is trail running. No special equipment or shoes are required, though a good pair of trail shoes can be beneficial in any of the forest locations.
Trail running is typically slower than road running, often includes more elevation gain, and will definitely include some epic scenery. So come take it slow and see what all the fuss is about!
Monthly Runs
Sunday mornings monthly October - May
GPS Art Runs
We have partnered with Little Lotus Yoga for the best Triathlon experience you could ask for. Run + Yoga + Beer!! For these events, join us for a theme inspired run where we draw fun designs with our running route through the streets of downtown Cheyenne. Following the run, enjoy a nice yoga session with Theresa Hansen of Little Lotus Yoga, then a tasty pint of Freedom's Edge Brewing Company brew. This one certainly makes for a great day!
The run is free, then current club members may book yoga and beer for only $18 ( a 10% savings).

Greenway Clean-Up
May and September
We love our Greenway system here in Cheyenne, so a few years ago we decided to adopt 2 sections near Holliday Park. This is an excellent way to give back to the community we enjoy so much. Please come join us, and help us clean-up the Greenway, then, let's go enjoy some brunch after!
We will provide trash bags, gloves, and water! Friends and family are welcome to participate, the more the merrier!
Global Running Week
Week around Global Running Day
An immensely fun tradition, where we will celebrate Global Running Week with several group runs, including special run(s) on Global Running Day. We will also have daily raffles for club members to win sweet prizes. This also pairs with our annual Poker Run to allow runners to collect cards to build their best hands for an opportunity at some phenomenal prizes!! This one is all about celebrating running, and especially celebrating our club members.
CRC Hikes
Late Summer, or Early Fall
As runners, we like to be active, and out in nature. So that just means we are often attracted to wherever the trails may take us, even when it does not involve running. Our annual hike is something to look forward to, as we change up locations, get off the paved path, and head out for adventure.
Soda Cheers &
Frosty Beers Mile
September / October
Began in 2021, the Soda Cheers & Frosty Beers Mile is an epic challenge of skill, dedication, and exquisite focus. Well, maybe not so much... This event is all about having some silly fun with running. The goal is to run a mile, within one hour. See, easy! Oh, then you do also need to drink 12 oz of beer or soda before each quarter mile of that mile run. Are you up for this challenge?
This is only one of several events at the annual Oktoberfestathon celebration, bringing together many of the things we love most: bikes, beer, brats, and (b)running!
5K Training
November - December
Winter 5Ks are great, and one of our favorites is the Christmas Classic put on by our great friends at Foot of the Rockies. So let's get prepared together with 2 excellent training programs from RRCA certified running coach Erin Leaf. Whether you are seeking to run your first 5K, or run your best 5K, there's a plan for it!
Run The Lights
December
We will run a leisurely route, carefully planned to showcase many stunning holiday displays along the way. There will also be a holiday scavenger hunt along the way, and possibly some music to get you in the mood. Dress festive, and celebrate this fun CRC family tradition!
Nog Jog
December
What is a Nog Jog, you may ask? Well... it is a fun festive celebration where all you have to do is run 4 laps at 400 m each. Oh, and drink an 8 to 12 oz cup of eggnog or apple cider before each lap. Easy! Though a fair bit of warning, going slow is likely the best way to do this one.
