Build my planAbout this race
October is such a magical time in the Eastern Cascades that we couldn't resist offering a new event! This course has a bit of it all: smooth single track, incredible views, steep climbs, and technical sections. Oh, and did we mention it's Larch Season over here?
The 50k will reach elevations over 6000ft, while the 50M will top out over 7000ft at its highest point. This high-elevation course will offer views east into the Entiat River Valley and west towards the glaciated slopes of Clark Mountain and Dakobed (Glacier Peak). With gilded larches to frame the trails, this certainly won't be a race to miss.
