We are just 50 DAYS AWAY from the 2026 Palm Springs Tram Road Challenge!

Join us for the most unique running event in the country: 3.7 miles, almost 2,000 ft of climbing, and views that can't be beat with San Jacinto Mountains ahead and Coachella Valley behind. Run it hard or stroll it out...either way you're a winner.

Every finisher gets a medal, race tee, post-race eats, and a bus ride back down the hill (your legs will thank you).

Sign up now and earn those bragging rights!
