Cascadian Wilderness Endurance Series

The Cascadian Wilderness Endurance Series events present an exciting opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to participate in a multimedia adventure blogging contest. These self-supported/unsupported events are open to trail runners, backpackers, fastpackers, and hikers, and each event features a unique and defined route which participants must complete on foot and in one push. Unlike traditional endurance races, there are no course markings or aid stations along the way, providing participants with the freedom to create their own adventure. It’s all up to you!

Route Description

It is actually 45 miles. The route includes various trails in the Mallard-Larkins Pioneer Area in the Clearwater Nat’l Forest, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience in a beautiful landscape.

Rationale

Why should you pay $20 to complete one of the endurance challenges? A small part of the fee will go to cover website maintenance and domain registration, as well as getting patches made and other small goodies/swag. The majority of this fee will be donated to trail maintenance organizations. The goal is to empower people to get out into these wilderness areas and hopefully to protect them into the future.
