Quest for the Crest by Run Bum Races
After the devastation of Hurricane Helene hitting the South Toe area we have had some significant changes to the route. We are working on opening up the trails again as the infrastructure is rebuilt. Currently over half the trails are free and clear of washouts / blowdowns. We are working to getting it back. We are having the 2026 edition but the route will be slightly different than the past. You will still get a ton of climbing and insane views.
-Please make sure you check out our website where the updated maps, charts and runners handbook can be found along with a video detailing the changes.

WARNING
THIS CAN NOT BE YOUR FIRST TRAIL RACE FOR ANY DISTANCE!
This is a ruggedly extreme deep end of the pool race. If you can not be set sufficient in the mountains, be on all fours for brief periods where you could fall and get seriously injured, filter water at times for the 25k and 50k, then you have ZERO business being out there. IF you are winging it, not training or not an athlete then you should not run. Every year we have people who should not be out there! Please we ask that you take the training seriously and enjoy the process. This is a beautiful HIKE up and jog down over boulders kind of "run". Whatever your PR is for said distance... double it and then some.
Event's current local time: 6:35 AM ET
