Join our team and conquer one of Colorado’s top bucket list challenges! The Manitou Incline gains over 2,000 feet of elevation in less than a mile, with grades of 43% to 68% Wow! We will utilize our local inclines to build your strength to tackle all 2,744 steps at the Manitou Incline on November 10th! Climbing stairs is a great way to amp your core muscle strength. It engages every major muscle in your lower body: glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, abs, and calves. At the conclusion of our training, we’ll head down to the Incline and do it together! Afterwards we’ll celebrate with a team luncheon in Manitou Springs. (Luncheon not covered in registration).

Metzler Family Open Space Hike/Run
2024-10-12 08:00 - 11:00 | Metzler Family Open Space, 838 E Allen St, Castle Rock, 80108
With gorgeous sweeping views, plentiful wildlife and beautiful wildflowers and vegetation, the land along Founders Parkway and Crowfoot Valley Road is truly a treasure. The Metzler family is credited as an original settler in the Castle Rock area. Originally built in 1899, the homestead was the home of Bob and Rosemary Metzler. The siblings grew up on the property when it was still being used for ranching and dairy operations. Both Bob and Rosemary had distinguished careers in education. Bob was elected the Superintendent of Douglas County Schools in 1952, and Rosemary taught in Douglas County for more than 30 years. The siblings were third-generation Coloradans who had a passion for education, the community, and parks and recreation. Castle Rock developed 4 miles of native-surface, single-track trails throughout the property and straightened the silo, as its preservation was requested by Mr. Metzler. The trails are now open for hikers, mountain bikers and walkers with dogs on leash.
