14er Challenge
About this race
Take the intimidation out of climbing a 14er! Girls on the Run of the Rockies will be alongside you each step of the way. From custom training plans and group hikes to fundraising support, we'll make sure you're supported the entire time. We're in this together!
The 2026 14er Challenge is headed to Chaffee County and the Collegiate Peaks. We’ll be camping at a lovely private ranch that backs up to Mt. Princeton’s famous Chalk Cliffs. Day 1 hike is Mt. Princeton and Day 2 is Mt. Antero. We hope you’ll join us in this beautiful new location! Space is limited to 40 climbers, so secure your spot today and join us at Basecamp for an unforgettable celebration!
When you register to take on this challenge, you are not just doing this for yourself, you are doing this for the next generation of girls. As a registered climber, you commit to a fundraising goal (a minimum of $2,500) to help support an entire team of girls this year. For every dollar you raise, you will be teaching girls that they are strong and capable of any challenge, JUST LIKE YOU!
Climb for YOUR Council: We are excited to invite climbers to join us for the 14er Challenge while supporting their home council! Your home council will receive 40% of your total fundraising (minimum of $1,000 will go to your home council). Registration is limited, grab a friend and sign up today!
