Join the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) and The Collective Snowmass for the winter speaker series, Wild Perspectives. The series features exciting accounts of world travel, adventure and the natural world through stories and visual media. During this week’s presentation, hear about running miles and miles while fundraising for Challenge Aspen.
Since 2003, the Sole Mates Marathon Team has brought together a diverse group of individuals to run long-distance races around the world. Over the course of 20 years, this team has competed in events in 12 different countries, across four continents and raised more than $1 million to support Challenge Aspen, a non-profit dedicated to creating possibilities for people with disabilities through year-round adaptive recreational programs and activities. Challenge Aspen’s programming encourages participation in activities that redefine limits, recognize abilities, and transfer newfound courage to everyday life; this team is rooted in the same ideals. Hear four runners’ experiences training, traveling and fundraising for Challenge Aspen and find out why it’s about more than just the miles.
The panel will be moderated by Aspen Challenge CFO Jenni Petersen who ran her first Sole Mates marathon in Maui in 2005. She’ll be joined by:
