This race is built around a simple idea: courage grows through challenge — especially when it’s supported.

When you choose to challenge yourself to run, hike or walk across the West Elk Mountains, you’re building your own strength, wellness, and courage. Outdoor experiences have the power to do that — especially for kids.

Your participation helps ensure more kids can attend summer camp, where they build confidence, curiosity, outdoor skills, and a true sense of belonging.
