okemo mountain challenge
Join us for the 2nd Annual running of the Okemo Mountain Challenge on Saturday, July 28. Runners are invited to compete in a 10 mile or 5K race at Okemo Mountain. The 10 mile race starts at the base of Okemo Mountain and features two climbs to the mountain’s summit before returning to the base of the mountain. There is nearly 9,000 feet of elevation change in the 10 mile run.
The companion 5K race starts at the mountain’s base and ends at the summit. 5K participants will be transported down to the post-race party. The majority of both races will be run on grass and trails. A portion of the event proceeds benefit local non-profit organizations. The Okemo Mountain Challenge brings the spirit of adventure to the mountain this summer! Do you have what it takes to conquer the mountain?
Form a team (unlimited size) with your friends, family or coworkers. Three fastest runners determine cumulative time. The top three teams with the fastest times for 5K and 10 mile races receive prizes.
The Okemo Mountain Challenge will be limited to 1,000 entrants and the first 500 runners will get a commemorative tech t-shirt.
