Important Race Information

Online race entries are required for time trail races for ALL RACERS (including members and juniors). All racers must enter this race by 8:00 PM the night before the race. Scroll down for race entry information.
Start lists will be posted on this page by 10:00 PM the night before the race. Racers will be grouped by category and start times randomly assigned within each group. Special start time requests will not be granted – please don’t ask.
Race numbers must be picked up at the race director’s table beginning at 5:00 PM. Please pick up your number at least 20 minutes prior to your start time to allow time to attach your number. You will keep your number for the entire season.
Do not cut, trim, or fold your race numbers – it can disable the timing chip and makes it difficult for the finish line volunteers to pick out your number from the various colors and logos on a fast moving jersey.
Please arrive at the start queue at least 2 minutes prior to your start time.
We will not have a bike holder at the start line. All racers must start from a full stop with one foot on the ground.
Drafting is not allowed in time trial races and will result in a time penalty.
Do not congregate on the road near the finish line and do not ask the finish crew for your time.

Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial Series
2026-04-15, 2026-04-08 | Cherry Creek State Park, CO
Since 1991, the KHMTT has been a spring rite of passage—Wednesday evenings at Cherry Creek State Park—where riders gather to test themselves against Colorado’s mercurial weather and a deceptively beautiful course.
We race with purpose. The KHMTT is a fundraiser supporting the Cancer Fitness Institute—founded in memory of Karen Hornbostel—and Bicycle Colorado. Karen Hornbostel was a four‑time masters national road champion who, despite a 13‑year battle with metastatic breast cancer, pioneered a groundbreaking fitness program for cancer patients. Her vision grew into what is today the Cancer Fitness Institute, improving the quality of life for thousands of survivors. Her courage and leadership continue to inspire every ride.
The COBRAS and the KHMTT are proud to support these organizations. When you ride with us, you’re not just chasing personal bests—you’re helping fund life‑changing programs and safer streets for cyclists across the state.
