CWES - Big Jim and the Chiwaukum

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, 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.

Participants can choose to tackle the route solo or with friends, with no cutoffs, allowing them to complete the route at their own pace. This event is not only about the physical challenge but also about the opportunity to capture and share the beauty of the wilderness through multimedia content.
