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 standing on top of Quandary Peak, a 14,272' high mountain!

Hikes generally start at 7 AM on Saturdays. We'll use Sundays as rain dates. We'll hike Quandary Peak on FRIDAY, July 25 to avoid weekend crowds. We will likely offer a makeup date if the hike on the 25th is canceled due to weather.

Here is a list of the 10 hikes in order, and general locations:

May 24 Green Mountain - Box o' Rocks loop (Lakewood)

May 31 Apex Park: Pick 'n Sledge-Grubstake loop (Golden)

June 7 Beaver-Brook Chavez loop

Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, May 13 at 7:30 pm for a virtual orientation session. We will cover 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 a medical clearance form from your physician's office prior to attending any hikes.

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.
