Albuquerque Road Runners Launch Free Summer Twilight Running Series
Dukes Track Club and Native Women Running prepare to lead the next events in the ongoing summer series at city parks and trails.
How we reported this
Albuquerque runners have two free twilight events on the immediate horizon after the Albuquerque Road Runners Club posted its updated July schedule on July 9.
The series draws participants who want structured group runs without entry fees or advance registration. Organizers rotate host duties among local clubs, keeping the program active through the summer at different city locations each week.
Next Stops on the Twilight Circuit
The July 23 edition will start at 7:30 p.m. behind Sage Brush Church at 6440 Coors NW, with a 5-kilometer run and shorter walk or run options along the Bosque Trail. Dukes Track Club is listed as the host. One week earlier, Native Women Running led a similar session at Rio Grande Park on Kit Carson SW, drawing walkers and runners for the same distance choices.
Earlier stops in the month took place at the National Hispanic Cultural Center and Alameda Open Space, each assigned to a different local group. The pattern gives Albuquerque participants repeated chances to run in familiar parks while supporting rotating club programs.
How to Join Upcoming Runs
The Albuquerque Road Runners Club calendar directs anyone interested to show up at the posted start time and location, with no registration required for the twilight events. Runners can check the club site for any last-minute changes before heading out.
Those seeking longer distances later in the month will find the Enchanted Forest Trail Races in Red River on July 25 and the Rio Grande Half Marathon at Balloon Fiesta Park on August 9 also listed on the same calendar page.
