Race Design

Day 1: Saturday, June 27 (Long Course - TBA!)
This is where you test your endurance and your overall ability to climb to the mountaintops, traverse the ridgelines, descend the talus and stay fierce in the pine tree forests. 

Day 1: Saturday, June 27 (5km Fun Run!)
New this year is our 5km Fun Run for all ages!

Day 2: Sunday, June 28 (Short Course - TBA)
This is a shorter course, but it is a challenge nonetheless! With speed, agility, and elevation in mind, it is designed as an “All Climb, All Descent” route but has an extra challenge with a designated section for a “Timed Ascent” route for a “race within the race.” 

Both days will end in the heart of the Panorama Village and you will be greeted with finish line cheers and a welcome to hang out and enjoy the celebrations with others!
