Mt Hood Uphill Challenge
Sure, you have tracked your turns at Meadows and showed of your vertical feet covered on the slopes, but have you ever wanted to run UP those slopes? This weekend you will get that chance!
The Uphill Challenge takes place on Saturday, August 22nd, and it is one event in a series of summer activities at Mt Hood Meadows ski resort.
The race starts in the MHM main parking lot and runs up trails on the slopes and ends at the top of the Stadium chairlift. The race distance comes to 1.2 miles but boasts a 621ft elevation gain. The top finishing man and woman will each receive a price money of $120. Stick around after the race for the celebratory barbecue on the patio.
