 Denver
Trail Named One of Nation's Top 10 Fitness Trails of
2005
Aspen Edge,
Coors' low-carb light lager, and the American Hiking Society, the
only national organization dedicated to establishing, protecting,
and maintaining America's foot trails, have named Denver's Sand Creek Greenway Trail one of
the top 10 fitness trails in the United States. This honor
comes on the heels of Denver being named one of the top
five fittest cities in the country by Men's Fitness magazine.
Fitness trails are defined as trails within 20 minutes of a
major metropolitan area - meaning consumers can use them before,
during or after work - have elements that can be completed in 60 to
90 minutes and can be used for a variety of fitness activities
including trail running, hiking and biking.
Denver's Sand Creek Greenway is a 14-mile
public greenway that connects the High Line Canal in Aurora with the Platte River Greenway in
Commerce
City. It passes through Denver and the former Stapleton
International
Airport site.
The trail is perfect for busy Coloradans looking to combine their
need for physical exercise (an average-size person hiking just two
miles an hour burns more than 200 calories an hour) with their love
of the outdoors.
To support the work of the American Hiking
Society, Aspen Edge is contributing $20,000 to protect and maintain
America's favorite
trails. Purchases of Aspen Edge help fund this donation.
In
addition to supporting trails nationwide, Aspen Edge is offering
consumers the opportunity to experience Colorado's rich beauty to its fullest by
registering to win an all-expense paid trip for four to Aspen, Colorado. Outdoor enthusiasts can
register at www.aspenedgelager.com
through June 30, 2005 for a chance to win the trip, which includes
airfare, accommodations and spending money. Winners will be
announced in July 2005.
