Don’t Miss the MS4MS Community Flat 14er!
A Flat 14er is one of Colorado’s famous 14,000-foot peaks — turned on its side and accessible to all! We’ve mapped out a 14,000-foot course that’s flat, paved, accessible, and open to anyone — you can walk, jog, run, stroll, or ride, and it’s just a little over 2.5 miles total. Join us on the morning of Saturday, June 10th at Clear Creek Valley Park in Denver for our first-ever Community Flat 14er!
