Colorado Rando Awardees - Round-Up for 2025!

Here are Colorado randos who earned RUSA, LRM, and ACP awards in 2025!

For some of these awards, you need to apply to be recognized. You don't need to purchase the physical award. What's important is the goal and the accomplishment. For some, the physical award is a nice memento.

Some are challenges within the current year or a twelve-month period. Others recognize achievement over a number of years.

We congratulate our fellow randos for their persistence in achieving their goals!
