14er Challenge (25M) - Jul 23, 2026 | Buena Vista, CO

Embark on an unforgettable journey with the 14er Challenge, a premier multi-day mountain adventure set against the breathtaking backdrop of Buena Vista, Colorado's Collegiate Peaks. Taking place from July 23-25, 2026, this unique event invites participants to conquer two iconic 14,000-foot peaks: Mount Princeton and Mount Antero. The challenge is more than just a physical feat; it's a powerful fundraising initiative supporting Girls on the Run, empowering the next generation of girls through your efforts.

Participants will establish a one-of-a-kind basecamp on a private ranch near Mount Princeton's famous Chalk Cliffs, enjoying a fully supported experience that includes shuttle service to trailheads, nourishing meals, daypack snacks, and evening entertainment. Day one involves tackling Mount Princeton, a classic Colorado climb spanning approximately 13 miles, followed by an estimated 15-mile ascent of Mount Antero on day two. While these routes are not technical rock climbs, they feature Class 2 scrambling in certain areas, demanding stamina and preparation for high-altitude conditions. The majestic scenery of the Sawatch Range and panoramic views of the Arkansas River Valley are your constant companions throughout this challenging expedition.

Typical race day conditions in late July in Buena Vista see highs around 84°F and lows around 51°F, with a minimal 7% chance of precipitation. However, mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable, emphasizing the importance of an early start to avoid afternoon thunderstorms common at high altitudes. With limited spots available, the 14er Challenge offers an intimate and deeply rewarding experience for adult adventurers ready to push their limits, embrace the beauty of the Colorado mountains, and champion a vital cause.
