Whiteface Mountain Races

Wilmington, NY Sunday Group Runs, MMR, VK, Mile

This Event Took Place Sat. Jul 2, 2022

About the event

With more vertical gain and loss per mile than possibly any other race in the United States, Whiteface is burly. Your legs will be reduced to Jello, your lungs worked, but you'll have completed a pretty incredible feat. Sound fun? Yeah, we agree. Be sure to take a moment to stop, look up toward some of the best mountain runners in the world shuffling forward to the finish, back toward fellow entrants of all ages, shapes, and sizes moving toward the summit, and around at the brilliant Adirondack Peaks enveloping you. You don't get any of those sights often…soak it up.

Race Options

Saturday will open w/ the 10k (1 Loop) / 21k (2 Loop) Marshak Mountain Race in the morning and pair with the Ascent and Kids event in the afternoon

Entrants can register for each race, or double up for the combo in the form of the Vert Junky.

Also in the afternoon will be the 1 Mile Kids Klymber, a 1'ish mile ascent from the top of the Gondola to finish alongside the uphill line and geared towards kids & parents.

The Sunday group runs are low key social adventures on area trails or small peaks. No charge. Details later.

Whatchya Get?

Entry fee includes the event and tee.

Poles

Yup, you can use them. Just be careful not to jab your fellow entrants. *Update: we've been notified that per USATF National Trail Championship guidelines, entrants are not permitted to use poles in the MMR. VK entrants are permitted to use them.

Cancellations & Refunds

We understand things come up. While we DO NOT offer refunds, we will roll your registration if notifying us NO LATER than May 1st (after that date we start sinking final expenses in on your behalf). NO REFUNDS after May 1st.

Day Of Registration?

Too much goes into these beasts in planning and resources. Reg will close down midweek ahead of race. No raceday registration.
