ABOUT
It’s time to give meaning to mountain running!
Climb It For Climate is returning for another year in the Catskill Mountains at Belleayre! Sitting just under 3500ft, this formidable mountain offers epic views of the stunning Catskill High Peaks around every turn. Runners participating will have the option of a 25K or an 8K. We have added an early start hiking option this year for those that want to enjoy the course, but don't want to be chasing cutoffs.
Donations being collected through registration & raffle for The Catskill Center.

ZERO CARBON
This is a zero carbon event, meaning we take into account the emissions released in relation to hosting this trail race. The Running Kind will be subsidizing the cost to offset the event, however there will be an extra $1 added on to your registration specifically for this cost. This $1 will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Native Energy to support a carbon offset project we believe in.
In addition to going zero carbon at this event, The Running Kind will be collecting monetary donations for The Catskills Center.
Event's current local time: 7:23 AM ET
