Going to be Cheyenne for about 6 weeks on business this Feb/March. Anyone know if there is an indoor track there? With public availability?? Or just indoor running options more generally?? I tried Google but didn't come up with much. Thanks in advance for any help.
haha, Central HS has an indoor track, though I'm not sure it's open to the public nor do I think anyone would want to run on it anyway as it's 163m and is made of wrestling mat material or something similar (I only ran it once or twice in several years ago).
I would just buck up and run outside. Be sure you have some cold weather gear.
Thanks for the info there Guppy.
Any suggestions for decent places to run outside in Cheyenne?
Not sure about Cheyenne proper but there are some good trails nearby, such as Curt Gowdy State Park.
Hope you like wind.
Thanks to all for the feedback. Guess it's going to be a lot of treadmill workouts for me.
Indoor tracks in Cheyenne; there are only 2 one is on F.E. Warren base at the 24 hour gym,(don't go to the wrong gym)and I have no idea how you would get on unless you have a good excuse for a visitors pass or if you know someone on base.
The second is at Cheyenne Central HS. I would ask the high school XC coach about getting on here, you might be able to jump in there when he hosts practice. His name is Rick and he owns foot of the rockies running store, very nice guy (2:19 marathoner at age 19)
You might not need an indoor though. It is very dry in SE WY and usually no snow on the tracks, maybe you can shovel it off if there is only a little.
Lions park and the greenway are the only runs in Cheyenne I would actually reccomend to anyone, ha. Enjoy it. There are very few runners in the town and people love to yell and throw things at you. Don't worry, it won't hit you because the wind will carry it away and they're to drunk to aim things well anyway! How i miss 100 MPW back home.

Good luck amigo. You will be tougher on your return to CA.
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. I'll tough it out and make it happen somehow or another.
And hey, if I can find a way to get that wind behind me ...
There has to be a canyon full of hats somewhere in Wyoming.
