All participants receive a tech t-shirt, meal ticket, and a beer from Fluvial Brewing! Finishers will also receive a 2024 Pleasant Mountain Race finisher medal.
Almost immediately, participants will be faced with 1700’ of climbing in 2 miles up Bald Peak. The course will then stop short of the summit and head back down to the base, via Firewarden’s trail. Participants will then partially circumnavigate around the base to the Southwest Ridge Trailhead, where they will face another 1900’ of gain in 2.5 miles. After reaching the summit, the course will take individuals across the northern ridge, and then down the technical Sue’s Way trail. This connects back to Bald Peak, which will take participants down to Mountain rd and to the finish. The course starts and finishes at the Pleasant Mountain East Lodge.
There will be one aid station on the course located at the Southwest Ridge Trailhead. Various snacks, water, and Tailwind will be available.
Participants must carry at least 500 mL of water, 400 calories, a windbreaker/rain shell, a space blanket, and a headlamp. Encouraged gear includes 1L of water, a hat or headband, gloves, and a fleece/puffy jacket.
Not interested in running but still want to be involved? Consider volunteering to help direct participants on the course and assist at the start/finish and aid station. No experience necessary.
