Earlier this month, first-year Outdoor Recreation Leadership students teamed up with the US Forest Service Leadville Ranger District and Friends of Lake County to help clean up dispersed campsites near the base of Mount Elbert. Together with local volunteers, they cleaned 37 fire rings, picked up 65 lbs of trash, sanitized 23 bathroom sites, and transported hundreds of pounds of ash to the landfill.

The CMC Eagles soared at the Roadrunner Invitational in Denver. Facing challenging conditions, they competed valiantly against NCAA D1 and D2 teams, proving that their determination knows no bounds. 🦅 Miles Fischer led the team with an impressive time of 27:46.93 in the 8K, while Zoe Plummer, Brooklyn German, Mikah Gay, and Adaline Fulmer each broke the record for the 2nd fastest 6K record in #CMCEagles history. Their next race is the UCCS XC Open on Oct. 6 in Colorado Springs.

Based out of the Leadville campus, most of our student runners get to train on world-class cross-country trails. However, full-time students from any CMC campus can join the CMC Eagles cross-country team. Runners not attending CMC Leadville can follow the workout schedule online, attend virtual meetings, and travel for meets.
