Cascadian Wilderness Endurance Series - Buckskin Ridge 42 Miler

Event Overview

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, each featuring a unique route which participants must complete on foot in one push.

Unlike traditional endurance races, there are no course markings or aid stations, allowing participants the freedom to create their own adventure. Participants can choose to tackle the route solo or with friends, and there are no cutoffs, so you can take as much time as needed to complete the route.

Route Details

The journey begins along the gravel road to Hart's Pass and the PCT trailhead. Adventurers will follow the PCT north for about 18 miles to Rock Creek Trail #473, continuing for another 7-8 miles along this less-traveled path. From there, the Buckskin Ridge Trail #498 offers 16 miles of breathtaking views.

Registration and Costs

The registration fee is $23.75, which includes taxes and fees. A portion of the fee supports trail maintenance organizations.

Social Engagement

Participants are encouraged to share experiences through social media by tagging relevant accounts and using creative mediums to showcase their adventures.
