The Fall Series consists of four trail races in four different city/county parks. The trails range from well-maintained to rocky with tree roots. Each event is a unique challenge at a different distance, getting longer as the series progresses.

No Creek Course at North Monument Valley Park in 2019 

Because of the recent reports of water issues in water sources at the Air Force Academy, the PPRR contacted the city regarding using Monument Creek during the Fall Series II event. Here is the response. 

Question: Our Fall Series II at North Monument Valley Park has for many years (except when not safe) run up the Monument Creek as part of the course. This year… with toxic chemicals found at the AFA which have been released into Monument Creek…what is the City’s position on us using the creek. Per the Gazette “a 15,000 page report” was released by the Academy which indicates this. We can easily alter our course. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks. 

City Response from Blake Zinc (Special Events Coordinator at Park & Rec): I would recommend a reroute as a precaution. The PFAS that have contaminated the water sources have the ability to bioaccumulate and create health issues later in life. I am sure the exposure would be very limited, but based on adverse health effect that could be experienced I would say it is not worth the risk. Let me know if you need any more help.
