Support the Warrior Trail Foundation as Jeff takes on the Colorado Trail FKT!
Jeff's quote about his motivation for the FKT and why he's rating funds for the WTF
Warrior Trail Foundation
The Warrior Trail Foundation provides access to trail running and hiking as a form of recreational therapy and community for veterans. The goal of the foundation is to partner with Veterans through the transformative power of the wilderness experience. The mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of veterans by providing support and resources aimed at improving physical, mental and spiritual wellness within this community. Through outreach, education, and access to coaching and mental health resources, the foundation strives to foster a culture of understanding, resilience and support.
Jeff is an avid supporter of our military and veterans. When presented with the opportunity to tie his FKT effort to their mission, he didn't hesitate. Jeff knows the transformative power of trail running perhaps more than anyone. His Longevity Project demonstrates that age has no bearing on potential and he looks forward to raising funds to support their mission.

Colorado Trail FKT
The Colorado Trail (CT) runs 500 miles and ~90,000 ft of vertical gain from Durango to Denver. It travels through some of the most spectacular country in Colorado, through 6 wilderness areas and eight mountain ranges. Jeff will be starting in Durango on August 18th with the goal of reaching the Eastern Terminus less than 7 days 13 hours later. In classic GoBronco style, he will be attacking the western side of the Collegiate Loop which is the more difficult route.
