Runner rescued after 80-foot fall in North Cheyenne Canon Park
The Colorado Springs Fire Department says a trail runner is in critical condition Thursday evening after being successfully retrieved in a high-angle rescue at North Cheyenne Canon Park Thursday afternoon.
The CSFD said on a social media post that the runner is believed to have fallen 80 feet off a steep rock. While injured, the runner was able to call 911.
Several specialized fire crews responded around 3 p.m., including a wildland team that cut a trail down through rough terrain to the runner for the high-angle rescue team. The CSFD also utilized drones in the rescue, according to social media posts.
