Cancer to 14K is a 10-week hiking-based conditioning program for cancer survivors and caregivers. It includes 10 weekly hikes plus recommendations and coaching for exercising in between the weekly hikes. Hikes get progressively harder over the 10 weeks, culminating in YOU enjoying the beauty of Lake Isabelle in the Indian Peaks Wilderness!
Hikes generally start at 7:30 or 8 AM on Saturdays. We'll use Sundays as rain dates. We will likely offer a makeup date if the hike on the 26th is canceled due to weather.
After we have your forms, we'll invite you to register for each of the individual hikes on the calendar. The individual hike postings will have additional details about meeting location, etc.
Here is a list of the 10 hikes in order, and general locations:
May 25 South Valley Park loop (KenCaryl)

Please mark your calendar for Thursday, May 16 at 7:30 pm for a virtual training session. We will cover volunteer duties, necessary hiking gear, general safety, and nutrition. You will receive a link to join from Dan Miller closer to the date.
When you register, you will be required to submit a self-assessment form covering medical and fitness issues. You will also need to obtain and submit a medical clearance form from your physician's office prior to attending any hikes.
