Option 1 - Bob Gore Discovery Climb
The 2021 GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill is honoring the life and accomplishments of Bob Gore with the Bob Gore Discovery Climb. Bob’s scientific discoveries led to the creation of GORE-TEX Outerwear and paved the way for advancements in performance fabrics, life-improving medical devices, and space exploration, among many others. His enduring legacy is one of science, innovation, invention, and making a positive difference in the world. Danny Giovale, founder and owner of Kahtoola and nephew of Bob, creates innovative products that make outdoor adventure and recreation possible in demanding conditions. As a Camp Colton alumni and former Friends of Camp Colton board member, Danny is committed to environmental education in our community. Now in its 14th year, the GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill gets people outside in support of life-changing experiences in nature for kids. Honor Bob’s inspiring life and conquer new heights by signing up for the Bob Gore Discovery Climb today. All proceeds support outdoor environmental Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education at Camp Colton in Flagstaff, Arizona. Get outside and record as much elevation gain as you can over 9 days! Details: - Individuals or teams of four - Team members are not required to complete elevation together. Please be socially responsible. - The race runs for nine days from February 20-28, 2020 - Individuals and teams will submit screenshots of each recorded elevation gain. - At the end of the race window, the individual or team will submit all screenshots to a Google Drive folder and report the final tally of accumulated elevation. *Note: You must submit screenshots to be eligible for race awards.
Option 2 - Lumberyard Brewing Company Ultimate Challenge
Test your grit with the Lumberyard Brewing Company Ultimate Challenge. Winnie and Kelly Hanseth, owners and operators of Lumberyard Brewing Company, are passionate Camp Colton supporters. In 1976, Dick and Jean Wilson, Winnie’s parents, and Kelly’s grandparents, deeded Camp Colton to Flagstaff Unified School District to support outdoor education. Now, more than 40 years later, nearly 50,000 kids have experienced the wonders of Camp. Honor this legacy with a race focused on vertical and speed. Climb and descend 2,100 vertical feet as fast as you can in celebration of Kahtoola’s 21 years of dedication to outdoor adventures. Details: - Individuals only, no teams for this race - Submit one continuous track (loop) that starts and stops in the same place, you can make multiple loops to reach 2,100 feet of elevation gain, but the time cannot stop - Complete the 2,100 feet of climbing and descent during the February 20-28, 2021 race window - Track MUST show a minimum of 2,100 feet in elevation gain (and loss) to be eligible for any awards (scout out a route ahead of time as needed)
