Winter Mountain Series

Winter Mountain Series

January 3 - March 7, 2026

Come walk/jog/run with us! All paces ages and abilities welcome! This is for hikers too!

Starting January 3rd each Saturday we will be running/hiking a different mountain in the region to prepare for Laliik 6 Hour/10 Mile/11k/5k on March 7th. We will be starting the run at 8 AM at each given location. More information will be provided each week for each specific mountain run but in general we have a short summit route and a longer summit route.

We are asking for a minimum of $20 donation when registering. Between these donations and registrations for Laliik is how we fund the series. We really appreciate your contributions. Every bit helps us to keep this awesome series alive!

Schedule:

• 1591' - Badger Mtn - Jan 3rd
• 1396' - Candy Mtn - Jan 10th
• 1406' - Red Mtn - Jan 17th
• 2048' - Chandler Butte - Jan 24th
• 1591' - Badger Ascent - Jan 31st
• 3588' - Rattlesnake Mtn - Feb 7th
• 2201' - Jump Off Joe - Feb 14th
• The Vertical Mile - Feb 21st
• Laliik Trail Work Party - Feb 28th
• Laliik 6 Hour/10 Mile/11k/5k - March 7th

This is a great way to set the training foundation for your yearly activities. It helps all of us to get motivated to train in the tougher cold winter months, to learn new trails, and to meet new people. We encourage all to use this as stepping stone to prep for Laliik, which then catapults us into our spring, summer, and fall adventures.

Awards:

You must first register for Laliik 6 Hour/10 Mile/11k/5k - (this is where we primarily get the funds for the series)

If you attend 5 out of the 8 mountain runs from January 3rd to February 21st you will earn a Mountain Runner Shirt. Attend all 8 and you will become an IRON GOAT and earn Mountain Runner Shirt & a Mountain Runner Custom Award. These awards will be distributed at packet pickup at Laliik on March 7th.

IRON GOAT AWARDS - This is big deal to receive this honor and is a pretty sweet award as well. Coming each and every Saturday during the toughest months to train is not easy. We give one mulligan for life happenings (sickness, family emergencies, etc) But in order to stay eligible for this award you must communicate the reason for missing. We will take a picture of all the Iron Goats at Laliik!
