Cascadian Wilderness Endurance Series - Kettle Crest 44 Miler

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, 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!

Participants can choose to tackle the route solo or with a couple of friends. There are no cutoffs, so participants can take as much time as they need to complete the route without pressure.
