Summary: Thorough, thoughtful, useful, readable.
Review: Great book with great information. As a novice trail-runner, this book removed a lot of the "unknowns" of the trail-running experience for me. But it's also easy to see that the Trail Runner's Guide has a complete package of information for the experienced trail-runner. The authors have done a superlative job of compiling and editing the most useful and applicable information for all skill levels. The diversity and cross-section of trails covered is also fantastic. Excellent work.

Summary: Great selection of trails!
Review: I recently started trail running within the last year, and found this book to be very insightful, easy and entertaining to read. The format is straightforward, and they offer a witty "Norm"al guy view of all the trails. This is helpful for me because I probably can't handle (yet) some of the runs shown. Trails are rated from easy to extremely difficult (the "Norm"al guy didn't run those). I would suggest this book for ANYBODY who enjoys running - trails or not!

Summary: Excellent trail runner's guide for CO residents and visitors
Review: Since buying this book, I've tried to run a new trail each weekend. I've only been trail running for a couple of years and have found this book extremely helpful (and funny) in finding new trails to run without getting in over my head. This book makes it easy to find nearby trails pretty quickly and find the ones that are right for your abilities. It really helps to keep your running fun and to let you set some new goals "off the beaten path." Definitely buy this book if you live in Colorado or are planning to visit and want to experience some great parts of our state.

Summary: A very concise, readable and enjoyable guide.
Review: The first book of its kind to offer trails to run on. Many books are available for hiking trails. They put alot of work into this book, it is very thorough. I have run several of the trails they recommend and all the info they provided was very accurate and helpful. I am very excited about this guide book. I hope it inspires people to get out there and enjoy the beauty of Colorado trails.

Summary: The first book on trail running in Colorado!
Review: You won't find any concrete paths or gravel roads here! Increasing numbers of runners are chucking the roads and hitting the trails--and this book is for them. Ranging from 4 to 28 miles, the 50 trails in this book were chosen for their single track terrain, incredible views, historical significance, "runability," and proximity to major towns and summer destinations. Each write-up includes a trail description, directions to the trailhead and route, humorous comments, and runner-friendly notes on fees, dog regulations, toilet and water locations, and horse and bike traffic. The descriptions also include a photograph, trail elevation, and a topographical map. Divided into regional chapters, the book also provides guidance on altitude, equipment and clothing, weather conditions and safety considerations, as well as information on where to eat sleep and be merry. Trail Runner's Guide to Colorado covers the entire state from Denver, Boulder, and Rocky Mountain National Park to Summit County, Vail and the Southwest region of the state.
