Climb4Change
2020 event canceled
-
Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 virus, Climb4Change scheduled for Saturday, May 9, has been canceled. Our primary concern is the health and safety of our participants.
We hope to see you at our Dance Glow event on Sept. 18, and Castle Rock Trail Festival, Oct. 3. Both of these fall events support our adaptive recreation programming and help us reach our goal of enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Please visit CRgov.com/AdaptiveRec for more information.
Climb4Change is a unique racing event that raises money and awareness for the Town of Castle Rock’s Adaptive Recreation program. Volunteers, businesses, and families with children with cognitive and physical disabilities band together for the race up the 200-step Challenge Hill built into the side of a mountain at Philip S. Miller Park.
Participants ascend 178 feet as they climb to make a positive impact on the community. Since Climb4Change’s inception, program registration has increased 70% and the event has raised thousands of dollars to ensure everyone in the community has access to recreational opportunities.
Funds raised at the Climb4Change fundraiser are used to provide scholarships, to purchase adaptive equipment, and to provide access to a wide variety of activities in a safe, respectful, and ability-focused environment.
