When you register to run or walk, we’ll automatically create an individual fundraiser for you to help support Conservation Colorado – or you can choose to start a team fundraiser if you’re running with others!

Fundraising is more powerful than most people expect. You likely already have friends, family, coworkers, employers and local businesses in your network who care about protecting Colorado’s environment, you just have to ask. Start by sharing your “why,” inviting them into your goal and asking them to support you as you run or walk for a cause that matters.

Colorado is at the forefront of national climate progress, and Conservation Colorado, as the state’s largest environmental organization, is helping to lead the charge. Real change happens at the state level, and it happens because people like you step up with leadership, action and commitment to a healthier future for all.

As a thank-you for going above and beyond, we're excited to recognize this year's top individual fundraiser* with a Colorado outdoor adventure, generously sponsored by Aspen One.

The top fundraiser will receive:

• Two one-day lift tickets, valid at any of Aspen Skiing Company's four mountains during the 2026-27 ski season
• One-night stay for two at Limelight Snowmass

Plus, if you raise over $150, you’ll receive exclusive Conservation Colorado swag to celebrate your impact and show your support for the movement.
