SOCIAL PROGRAM
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH
SUN RUN
6:15 AM
What is 3.1 miles long and 1 mile high? The 26th IEEE PVSC
Sun Run in the Mile High City of Denver! The run (our first
was in 1980!) is scheduled for 6:15 am on Wednesday,
June 11, 2014, to ensure everyone will be back in time for
the presenters’ breakfast and the sessions! The course will
be run along historic Cherry Creek, in which gold was first
discovered in Colorado in 1858. The Cherry Creek Trail is
directly behind the Denver Convention Center-so no busing!
Runners (both competitive and less so!) can register on line
or at the meeting. The registration fee covers a special T-shirt,
refreshments, recognitions for outstanding performance-
and some commemorative materials of great worth. Awards
will be made in several age categories for our men and
women competitors. Again we will have the Corporate Cup
Competition for teams (3 or more runners) for which the times
are handicapped by both age and gender using the long-
tested (since 1984!) “Modified Arvizu-Kazmerski Adjustment
System” (we should get both of them to run this year?).
For details and information, please contact L.L. Kazmerski

SATURDAY, JUNE 14TH
PVSC HIKE
7:30 AM (Hyatt Lobby)
The more difficult hike will be Mt. Quandary the 13 tallest
peak in Colorado at 14,265 ft. (4348 m) is 6.75 miles long
with an elevation gain of 3450 ft. The trial is as easy as it gets
for mountains over 14,000 ft. and is very popular. At 14,265
feet, Quandary Peak is the highest mountain in the Ten mile
Range, its massive bulk and sweeping east ridge rising above
the range like a huge behemoth from the deep. Breaking
through tree line, a sharp, long neighboring ridge follows you
as you head west. The summit pitch comes into view fairly
soon after you leave the trees, looking like a massive pyramid
that is often graced with snow well into the summer.
