The Elevation 5K Run/Walk and Family Dash (Saturday, July 12 at 8:00 AM) in Conifer, CO is a fundraiser for LIGHTS and Athletic Field Improvements at Conifer High School. These improvements will support our CHS athletes, the marching band, numerous area youth athletic groups, CHS students in general, and the entire Conifer community. We intend that these improvements will provide for our youth and help create a greater sense of togetherness in our mountain community.
Think "Friday Night Lights".
