Runners will have the unique opportunity to climb up to 11,500ft, making Sky Peaks Arizona's highest footrace.
On Friday afternoon, runners will tackle the Agassiz Hill Climb, taking a gnarly route to the top of the Arizona Gondola. After climbing 2,100ft in just 1.4 miles, runners can (thankfully) take the gondola back down.
Saturday brings a full slate of racing, with distances ranging from 5K to 50 Miles. All races (except the 5K) start with the 3.4 mile "Agassiz Loop" a grueling route that circumnavigates the Arizona Snowbowl property and tops out at 11,500ft. After that little "warm up", each distance continues to their respective courses. The 5K stays pretty flat and does a wonderful loop through the Aspens.
Good to know

There are many different lodging options available in Flagstaff from vacation rentals to hotels and inexpensive motels. Visit this link for a comprehensive listing of all lodging options in and around town.
We appreciate our volunteers! For many volunteering is rewarding in its own right and a great way to give back to the running community. For others, it is a way to see things from the other side of the table, and learn a lot about running races before jumping into them.

Poles are allowed for all distances. If you start the 10K or 26K race with poles, you will need to carry them the entire race. The 50K and 50M can utilize their remote drop bags for pole logistics.
