Mt Ashland Skimo Summit | february 3rd, 2024

Patrol Race | March 16th, 2024

10th year anniversary of the modern re-invention of this historic race! The race traverses nearly 20 miles of rugged terrain, primarily following the Pacific Crest Trail, gaining and losing over 4,500 feet of elevation between Snoqualmie Pass and Meany Lodge (historically named the "Meany Ski Hut," and is just below Stampede Pass). This race first ran in 1930 and was modeled after “military patrol races” common in Europe at the time, but the first of its kind in America.
