From the Organizer

Start time: 9:30 am Sunday, July 26th at Phil Baux Park

Race day registration & bib pickup: 8am-9am

Entry Fee: $40 - signing up before July 17th secures a t-shirt in your size

The Snow King Hill Climb route covers 1,535 vertical feet over 3 miles. The race starts in Phil Baux Park at the base of Snow King, proceeds through Phil Baux Park, and straight past the lower magic carpet then the real fun starts as you climb from the base of Rafferty to the summit road. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and enjoy the views, finishing at the top of the Gondola. Runners will get a free ride down the Gondola after the race.

Please carry your own hydration and food (we will have some water and light food available at the top), and come prepared for the weather (it could be anything) and wildlife.

We will allow drop bags to be left at registration and brought up the gondola for you at the finish (please bring your own bag, and note that we will not be responsible for any lost or damaged items, though we will do our best to make sure everything gets to you at the finish :))

Awards will take place at the summit, weather permitting. We will award top 3 M/F and will have a few age group top finisher awards.

Be sure to sign up for the Cache/Game Race on Saturday, July 25th to compete in the town double header. One weekend, two races! There will be a special award for completing both races!

We'd like to thank our presenting sponsors: Snow King Mountain, Stio, Arc'teryx and Skinny Skis
