A SKYRACE
We're offering two distances, a 14 and a 5 miler.
For the Skyrace you'll get to climb for over 5,200ft to the actual summit of Mt. Ellinor. And then, you'll get to bomb the whole way back down.
For the Forest loop you'll climb 1,200 ft. and get to run through lush forest along streams and over several fun wooden bridges.
Start and finish is at Big Creek Campground and we'll be offering limited camping for the weekend.
The 14 milers is the only certified Skyrace course in the United States and an a UTMB Index race. To learn more visit the Sky Running Federation.
