RiseUP Elevation Challenge
Climb Beyond Yourself
Climb, Hike, Walk, or Run 5,000 feet of Elevation
in the Month of September, 2026!
Register by August 14 to receive your challenge T-shirt before September 1st. Registration remains open through September 15th.
Gain elevation wherever you are — on Pikes Peak, along your favorite trail, through a hilly neighborhood, or even using a Stairmaster! You have the entire month of September to reach your goal and make every foot count.
Create or join a team with your office, church, family, friend group, gym, club, neighborhood, or community organization. Work together toward shared elevation and fundraising goals, compete for team recognition, and help more people rise.
And when you register, you can select one of our participating nonprofit partners. Half of the proceeds raised through your page will support the nonprofit you choose. Together, we can double the impact of every step!
Share on social, tag RiseUP, and use the hashtag #Up4TheChallenge!
Need an accessible alternative?
The Distance Challenge allows people who cannot reasonably complete an elevation goal because of disability, health, mobility, or geography to participate fully through a distance-based goal.
