Gemini Adventures 24 Hours of Utah team competitor Regina Daly is a volunteer firefighter with Four Mile Fire Department in the Boulder foothills. The Four Mile fire department lost a fire station and an engine in the 2010 Four Mile Fire and suffered flood damage to it’s station in 2013. This year they’re raising money for a new fire station and community center by putting on a new event, the Fourmile Firefighter Challenge, in Boulder on September 7, 2014. This is the only hill climb race in Boulder county with more than 2500ft of elevation change over 10 miles!
It is a 10 mile run or walk from the base of Fourmile Canyon to the top and the historic town of Gold Hill. The road is partially paved and part dirt. The course goes through the quaint town of Salida which was the site of some of the worst destruction from the floods last year and still wears its scars. The race ends on the main street of Gold Hill with a finish line party at the rustic Gold Hill Inn. All proceeds go to benefit the Four Mile Fire Department.
