Do you think you can gain more vert than everyone else who toes the start line? Come and join us, and embrace the Steep Life. Steep Camp Sunrise is sure to become a summer destination adventure for mountain runners everywhere.

New Course Option!

Want to rack up the vertical gain, but with a little more focus on runnable miles? This year we're introducing the SHORT COURSE option. This new route will share pieces of the original LONG COURSE ascent and descent, but cut across the mountain at about the midway point. The elevation gains will still continue to stack up as you run loop after loop. We're excited to see folks embrace this new challenge for 2020. The course will be approximately 3 miles per loop. Updated maps coming soon.

Course Summary

LONG COURSE: Climb from the base of Sunrise mountain up to the peak at 10,700ft, catch your breath and enjoy a short descent, then climb again to the top of Apache peak,at 11,100ft. As you leave Apache and make your way back to the summit of Sunrise, you’ll have the chance to high five other runners making their way to the summit. Then, wake up your quads and bomb down a different route from your ascent. Once you’ve made it back down to the base, to conclude your one and only loop, or to head out for more, we’ll be ready for you with aid and encouragement.
SHORT COURSE: Start the climb with all the Long Course runners, but before the climb becomes a wall and takes you to the top of Sunrise peak, you'll head West across the mountain at about the midway point. You're route will have you accumulating about 600ft of vertical gain per loop, with each loop covering about 3 miles. More updates on those SHORT COURSE details coming soon.
