Stride & Strategy Metzger Farm Open Space 8/8/2026
About this Event
Ahead of The Alpha 5K Challenge, we are hosting 15 casual, high-level networking meetups designed to connect forward-thinking professionals, share market insights, and build substantive community relationships.
August 8, 2026:
We will be running and walking the smooth concrete and soft-surface paths of Metzger Farm Open Space, a scenic regional trail rich with local history.
Address: 12080 Lowell Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020, United States
Thats not all though! The value doesn't stop at the end of the trail.
Each run transitions into a high-level social gathering, providing the perfect environment to move beyond the trail, exchange deeper market insights, and cultivate lasting professional connections.
Afterward, we will head over to The 1UP Arcade Bar in Westminster to unwind. Experience a nostalgic collection of classic arcade games and pinball machines while enjoying a casual atmosphere, perfect for networking and connecting with the group.
