Race the Wolf: Sky Climb
Course Description
Race the Wolf’s Sky Climb takes runners from Schweitzer Village to the Sky House in one mile, straight uphill. This is a grueling 1660’ off-trail climb with views in all directions.
Athletes may take the lift back down free of charge.
Sky Climb athletes earn a Race the Wolf stainless steel trophy pint glass at the finish line—right at the Sky House where you can fill it with your favorite beverage! Run, hike or crawl the Sky Climb on its own, or run a second Race the Wolf event to become an Alpha Wolf. All Alpha Wolf finishers completing two or more races take home a custom stainless steel Alpha Wolf pint glass.
It is the responsibility of all participants to read all emails and/or watch all videos posted with race updates and final race day instructions (check. your. spam. folder.). We send final instructions about two weeks before race day.
These races will be held rain or shine.
