Cheyenne Mountain high school - Team Mars at the Garden of the Gods Ten Mile Run


An Aid Station Challenge can help our
team in many ways. Not only financially,
but the team building that happens in
these events is very positive.

How You Can Help
We have put up $2,000 for the Challenge. When you register you can also donate to the Challenge. This is important because many teams get next to nothing for their programs. Together we can help a team send their runners to an out of area meet or get new uniforms.

Thank You!

Congratulations to Cheyenne Mountain high school who did the Balanced Rock aid station and painted themselves green to win $1,248.90 in green as well as an automatic spot in the 2008 Challenge! “Welcome to Mars” was their theme and they also offered Ice Pops to the runners which was a huge hit as the temperatures started to rise.

Palmer came in 2nd ($780.56) with their super hero theme at Ridge Road. Doherty took 3rd ($624.45) with their Travolta/Elvis theme at the Scottsman aid station. Forth ($468.34) went to Manitou Springs who called themselves the hot ones at the North Gateway aid station.
