    Beautiful course. Perfect amount of challenge. Initial ascent was intimidating based on elevation profile but ended up being more gradual and runnable than predicted. Aid stations were well placed with the exception of the 10 mile gap between 13-23. Very well marked course. Views were beautiful.

    This is a great trail run. Be prepared for a lot of uphill in the first 3 miles. It can take a toll on you with the heat and elevation if you don’t prepare properly. Bringing water is highly recommended. This was my first 10k and I am so excited to do it again next year.

    This was a very well done race. A beautiful time of year in the Chelan hills. It was my first trail race ever and it was pretty brutal. But also super fun. First part of the race was the most difficult but it got better after that. If I’m in shape for it next year I will do it again.

    Breathtaking views, well-marked course, well-stocked aid stations and about 1.5 pizza per runner! Movie screening in the evening. I know what I’m doing first weekend of June 2024!!! MORE

    This was my first 50k distance and it was perfect! A little wetter than expected (previous years showed heaps on sunshine), but the scenery was still great and all the aid station volunteers, etc. were so helpful! Everything is runnable (single track / wide roads) – the first 2.5-3 miles are where you’ll gain the most vert, and miles 23ish-25ish are a close second (not too steep), but the rest is gradual / “rolling” little hills with a good amount of downhill. Great way to dip your toes into ultras (or even trail running in general). Hoping to come back next year and complete this race again (and in the sunshine)!

    This was my first 50K attempt and although I did not finish I had a blast! I was not planning on it raining as much as it did and plan on bringing some extra gear just in case for next year! Next year I plan on coming back and finishing this race!

    I have been racing on and off for 40 years, and this team is ALWAYS all smiles and pulls of well-orchestrated events. It might be a cold & muddy trail, but the team will have hot pizza & cold beer and the finish.

    The course is absolutely beautiful, downright magical at times! Terrain and elevation are manageable, mostly rolling ups and down, even on sections that primarily climb, so you never feel like you are chugging up the side of a mountain. All the volunteers on the course were friendly, happy and helpful, one even let me use his personal sunscreen from his car. Despite the course basically looking like someone took spaghetti and dropped it on the ground, everything was extremely well marked, no room for confusion, which is so appreciated when you are on mile 23 and your brain is fried! I wish that the location/number of aid stations was more clearly communicated though, according to the pre-race emails and website, I was expecting there to be a few water-only aid stations, which there were not. Thankfully a volunteer told me this otherwise I would have run out of water on a particularly long and hot stretch of trail. Overall a great race though!

    This race was amazing. The gradual uphill for the first half was just gradual enough to keep running for most of it and then when you hit the aid station and started going downhill, it was a blast, of course! The worst part of this whole race was the last mile because you can see the finish line and then the trail sends you the opposite direction uphill for awhile until you finally come back. Total psych out. But so so fun! Ill be back with others next year for sure

    This race will bite you if you aren’t used to the heat and running consistently on trail runs. There’s also a little loop at the end just when you think you’re finished…ooof! The views are spectacular, the downhill is so fun and you can totally bomb it. Chelan is gorgeous! Atmosphere is super-inviting. This was my third year doing this race and I always have a blast.
