Other trail races within 76 miles
A point-to-point journey from remote Wright Meadow to the finish at Cispus Learning Center, covering many of the most spectacular segments of the Dark Divide in a single long day. The 100K features 16,500 feet of climbing and over 19,000 feet of descent across 61 miles of mostly technical singletrack. Runners travel through alpine ridges, waterfalls, old-growth forest, and exposed viewscapes of the surrounding Cascade peaks. There is no shuttle service to the Wright Meadow start; runners and crew must arrange their own transportation to this remote trailhead.
