Purple Mountain Events: Uniting Colorado through the Celebration of fitness

Welcome to Purple Mountain Events!

Founded and directed by Preston Shepard, Purple Mountain Events is a community-focused fitness event company based in the heart of Colorado Springs. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to creating and hosting large-scale functional fitness competitions that bring together athletes, volunteers, and spectators from all over the region.

Our Mission

At Purple Mountain Events, our mission is simple: to unite the Colorado Springs fitness community through exceptional events that inspire, challenge, and engage. We believe in the power of fitness to transform lives and build strong, supportive communities. Each event is structured and planned to ensure an unforgettable experience for everyone involved, from the competitors to the cheering crowds. We create opportunities.

#FindyourWild

Our motto and mantra for curating challenges that our fitness community both desires and deserves. We believe there is a deep wild for everyone to uncover and express and we aim to create opportunity for our athletes to do just that!

#BetterTogether

Our community is deep & vast. We truly believe that a rising tide raises all ships. We pride ourselves on working, uniting, and collaborating with as many affiliates, companies, and individuals as possible to help us ensure that we can run amazing events that help and support as many people as possible.

Our Signature Event: The Purple Mountain Throwdown

The Purple Mountain Throwdown is our flagship event, a two-day functional fitness competition that has quickly become a highlight of the local fitness calendar. The Throwdown is more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of strength, endurance, and community spirit.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, our goal is to elevate the Purple Mountain Throwdown into a premier fitness festival, attracting even more participants and spectators. We aim to expand our event offerings, incorporate new and exciting challenges, and continue fostering a sense of community among fitness enthusiasts in Colorado Springs.
