For those continuing to prepare for NXR, a great way to stay race ready is to run the 2 Mile 4 REAL held at Niwot High School next Tuesday, November 11th. The schedule will officially be posted once seeding is done, but last year the first heat of the girls’ 2 mile started around 6:20 p.m. and the boys started around 7:00 p.m. Athletes are expected to sign up on their own.

Cost: $30

Reasons to race:

• Simulates what sea level 5k paces will feel like on a flat, fast course in Arizona. This gets your legs ready to run that pace.
• Optimal time to get one last VO2 effort in before NXR.
• Keeps you race ready
• It’s a chance to PR in the 2 mile!
• Team BOSS helps put on this event, so you will see professional runners and could get to meet them!
• It’ll be so fun!

Entry Suggestions: If you have not raced a 2 mile before or are not sure what time to enter for your seed time because you’ve improved so much, you can use the VDOT calculator to give you an estimate. Just enter your best 5k from this year, and then look at the equivalent time below for a 2 mile estimate.

You can sign up to run for the Denver East team as you register!
