Welcome to Power To Play: Summit and Race. Choose the thrill of an adventure race, or the challenge of gaining elevation.
Choose Your Adventure!
Power To Play launched in 2009 and became our signature event for over a decade - a vibrant celebration of community, adventure, and purpose. When the pandemic disrupted in-person gatherings, we responded with creativity and heart, launching Power To Summit in 2020. Since then, it has raised more than $1.8 million for inclusive, nature-based programs.
In 2026, we’re combining these two incredible experiences into one dynamic weekend: Two Paths, One Goal (May 29–31). Participants can choose either Power To Play OR Power To Summit:
