MILE-HI JEEP CLUB'S 59th ANNUAL EVENT
All-4-Fun 2025
July 19th – 26th • Leadville, CO
All-4-Fun is a fun week long event going into its 59th year. Running fantastic trails in the Rockies anchors the week, with add-ons including hosted breakfasts, dinners, kid's games, vendor day, dances, a beer garden, and more. I've been sitting in on planning meetings the last couple of months and it's incredible the amount of work the folks out of MHJC put into A4F. They bring tons of passion and decades of experience to the event.
All-4-Fun is also a huge fundraiser for Children's Hospital in Denver. MHJC routinely makes a donation in the tens of thousands of dollars every year. The off-roading community is awesome!
Rigs of all sizes and flavors are welcome, with a variety of trails available to meet the experience level of all drivers. Want just a scenic drive to a mountain top, sure! Want to climb some big rocks and push your technical skills, go for it! Trails are run Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday is a much-needed day off, and is also Vendor Day, with lots of eye-candy and shopping opportunities.
I will be going with Paul's godson, Aidan Caskey, who has the YJ. TBD what I will be driving; I will start figuring that out sometime in February, I think. We already have reservations at Mountain RV Park in Leadville. Camping will be hosted in a gravel pit in the Leadville area. Free camping at the gravel pit is included with All-4-Fun registration. I'm going up for two weeks, so staying at at an RV park. Mountain RV Park is filling up fast so make reservations soon if you think you want to join us!
Aidan and I typically love to challenge ourselves on Level 6 - 8 runs. I may end up scaling back my adventurousness this year, depending on post-roll recovery by that time. Stay tuned...
One frustration with this event in the past has been the evening-before trail sign-ups that can get a little chaotic. Some of this has to do with the nature of collaboration between MHJC and land use agencies including USFS and BLM. Some has to do with tradition of the event itself. Fingers crossed there may be some changes to trail sign-ups in 2025 - to something more like the pre-event sign-ups used by LC4WDC for Chile Challenge. Even if sign-ups remain the same as past years, there are ways to coordinate amongst ourselves to team up and get a group of us on the same runs on the same days.
I love this event and will be helping out on various support committees this year. Let me know what questions you have or if you want to come play with us!
