Embrace the Steep Life!! Come escape the desert heat and enjoy a breath taking experience climbing peaks of 10,700 and 11,100ft in the beautiful White Mountains. This is a looped course, with a go as you please approach. If one loop is all you need, come knock it out and stay to cheer on the runners trying to fit in multiple summits in a day. This event is sure to get your heart racing!
For those of you curious about fixed time events, but more interested in a fixed distance, we’ve just added a 10K and a 20K distance option. Get out on the course for one full loop with plenty of vert, or tackle two loops for your day and have twice the time to take in all of the views. Either way, we’d love to have you join us!
Course Summary
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.
Aid Stations
There will be two aid stations along the course that are each accessed twice. They will feature water, gnarly hydrate electrolyte drinks, fresh fruit and other snacks.
