FLAMING FOLIAGE CHALLENGE
A solo virtual challenge - registration is now open
In the fall of 2019, we designed a four-piece medal that runners could earn by completing the Flaming Foliage Relay each year from 2020 through 2023. Each medal was based on a different Rocky Mountain tree in their fall colors. A piece of hardware is used to screw them all together, completing the Colorado State symbol in the middle.
The pandemic threw a monkey wrench into those plans. In 2019, the FFR was held as a virtual race. In 2020, many runners were still hesitant to participate in events.
I've been asked by several runners how they could earn a 2020 or 2021 medal. The Flaming Foliage Challenge was born as a response.
