The 15K starts by taking the JHMR running trails (Saratoga Trail) across the hillsides until you connect with the Wildflower Trail at the Casper Chair Lift. This junction will have an aid station. Zip down the Wildflower Trail and descend the switchbacks until reaching the finish line.
15K Runners will gain ~1,800 FT. over the first 5-6 miles and descend the same amount in the last 4 miles. This is a great beginner option for those who don't want to reach the elevation or distance of the 30K.
The course will be marked with RED flagging, caution tape, chalk and more.
REGISTRATION CAP
The 15K race is capped at 200 runners. Registration will close once this cap is reached, so we encourage you to register early.
