our why
Races that feel handmade. Routes that earn their medal. Fields small enough that someone will know your name at the start line.
01 · Real placesRoutes designed by people who run them weekly, not pulled off a spreadsheet.
02 · Small fieldsCapped entries so the trail stays a trail, and so the finish line still feels personal.
03 · Pay it forwardA slice of every entry goes to local trail maintenance and a mountain rescue team.
The whole field
Capped at 350. Every name a story.
