Whiteface Mountain Races has something for EVERYONE!

🔵The Marshak Mountain Race will make use of mountain utility roads, grassy and/or hummocky slopes, and a blend of ascents and descents at roughly 40% grade. All told it’ll cover roughly 3,900’ of gain and loss over 10k.

🟠Sky Racers, take another lap will ya! The 2-loop Race ISF Certified SkyRace double the course for almost 8,000 ft of vertical in a roughly 20k distance.

🟡Entrants can register for each race, or double up for the combo in the form of the Vert J***y. Vertical gluttons capable of pulling of two loops and setting off for a final Ascent in the uphill race will have put in nearly 11,000’ of gain in the day.

🟢The VK is about as direct as we can get you up the mountain, covering roughly 3,200’ of elevation gain in 2.5 miles. A certified VK course, right here in the East!

🟤Kids Klymber, a 1’ish mile ascent from the top of the Gondola to finish alongside the Ascent line and geared towards kids and their parents.

See you there!!!
