Race to the summit and back in a single epic 10-mile loop
Other trail races within 116 miles
A single-loop mountain trail race that packs in the full Bachelor Ascent experience — summit, views, and technical volcanic terrain — in 10.2 miles. Starting at West Village, the course climbs through forest onto smooth dirt singletrack before emerging above treeline onto increasingly rocky and steep lava rock trails to the 9,000-foot summit. The descent follows the smooth, winding Evergreen Trail back to the finish. One aid station at Pine Marten Lodge, accessible by chairlift for crew and spectators.
