Watkins, who runs for the Colorado Running Company, finished second overall in the 10K and set a new course record with a time of 40 minutes, 38 seconds. She was only 46 seconds behind Andrew Jarvis, 25, Colorado Springs, who won the men's race with a 39:52.
Adam Rich (33, Colorado Springs) charged to the win in the 5K, covering the technical singletrack course in 17:11. And 13-year-old Paige Embaugh won the women's 5K in 23:41.
