About this race
This September (2026), walk, hike, climb, or run your way toward 5000ft of elevation or distance! Hit milestones to win prizes and raise support for people with IDD.
You can gain elevation or distance wherever you like - on the side of Pikes Peak, a trail at Garden of the Gods, a hill in Florida, circles in your backyard, or walking at your local park - it doesn't matter! You have the entire month of September to hit your goals and raise money for the cause!
